Can someone explain why I see lots of mate but only +2.xx evaluation?
Is this a bug?

It's the nature of NN - elevator explanation . plays millions of games and comes up with a scoring% for each move , but it's not real good at finding mates or even giving good lines for that move as compared to A/B engines. No bug.
