How the turning move is chosen

The peak is the author move with the best evaluation before it was played. The turning move is the first author move from the peak on that leaves the evaluation below +3.0, whatever the size of the drop. The size of that drop gives the label: "one move" means a blunder (a drop of 3.0 pawns or more), "mistake" a drop of 1.5 to 3.0 pawns, and "gradual" a smaller drop, so the advantage had already drained away over earlier moves. A game lost on time with the evaluation still at +3.0 or better is marked "lost on the clock" and has no turning move.

The evaluations come from the depth-12 analysis of every move, so a few cases can change at greater depth. A drop that still leaves +3.0 or better, such as a drop from a mate score to +6.5, is not a turning move, because the position is still winning.
