    Nakamura said in a podcast all he would need to know is that there is a winning move and he'd be able to find it.

    So, just one buzz is enough that says "in this position there is a move that wins the game".

    Kinda like everyone's ratings in puzzles is higher than in elo because by the very nature of the puzzle there is a winning sequence to find.

    In play, if I don't spot a winning tactic I just move to (try to) improve my position. In puzzles if I don't spot a winning tactic, I look again, and again, and again…
