I will try to improve movei and
my plan is to try to get improvement in order of moves in the near future.

It seems that Genius was relatively lucky to get endgames with passed pawns for
both sides.

I do not see this kind of endgame so often in games of movei against other
players.

The same Movei that you tested play in another tournament and it got endgames in
all of its games

It has 2.5/3 against gaviota,Dorky and Beowulf

It won equal or better endgames and drew an inferior endgame so I do not feel
that endgame is a major weakness of it inspite of the fact that it does not
search deep enough.

In this case there is no problem and if the book of genius2 is big enough the
learner of movei has also no influence.
