I don't believe it is always that easy to label something as "stupid tactical"
as sometimes a program plays a move that looks ugly, only because it found
something deep in the tree that made it look good.  That isn't really a shallow
tactical blunder, it is a deep mis-analyzed branch instead, sometimes caused by
failing to extend one particular move enough.
