Subject: A test position to see if your program is materialistic(most are not)

This position could happen in my crrespondence game

[D]2r2rk1/p3q1pp/1p6/2bp1p2/4n3/1P2P1P1/PB3PBP/1QR1RbK1 w - - 0 25

If your program plays Bxe4 then it is materialistic(Bxe4 is the only move that
does not lose material)

If it plays Rxf1 then it is not materialistic

It seems that most programs are not materialistic based on the test that I did.
I guess also that most humans are not materialistic here and are going to prefer
Rxf1
