I guess some bug with null move pruning.

Movei does not use null move pruning in positions when the number of legal moves
is smaller than 10 so it has no problem not to see winning score for black.

It does not see the draw but the main reason is not using hash tables for
pruning(the last time that I tried it it did not help and I tried other things
later instead of checking for the bug).

Even without using hash tables for pruning it can fail high again and again to
finally see draw score
Here is the analysis after some minutes on p850(128 Mbytes hash).
