-10 pawns?

I guess it is easy to change it from -1 pawn to -10 pawns by multiply all
evaluations by 10.

The absulute value is not important and the question is simply what does -10
means in terms of expected result.

Does Diep evaluate it as 10 pawns advantage for black?
Does Diep win every position that it evaluates as 10 pawns for itself or at
least does do it in 99.9% of the cases?
