I think that you just need good extensions.
It is known facts that programs have no good knowledge to extend the right lines
and Movei is no exception.

Another question is what do you mean by a winning score.

Suppose that I can see Qh5 with +0.97 score when another move has +0.56 score.
Does it mean that Qh5 has a winning score?
