Sudden big changes in eval of one or the other functions over a period of 2 - 4
moves. If a program makes a move, and over 2 - 4 moves its eval drops
dramatically, then it made a tactical mistake which was exploited by its
opponent.  So our puzzle could be to find the exploiting move.

Checkmate eval scores. If an engine is showing Mate in 2, then it becomes a Mate
in 2 puzzle :)

Best,
