If the target is only to see 0.00 score in less than 100 plies
then it is easy to do it.

All I need to do is to tell my program to return 0.00 if
there is no checkmate.

I can do it by adding one line to movei but for some reason
I prefer to see movei plays better.

I have better ideas how to teach movei to see the draw in
a productive way for playing strength, but at this time there are
more important things to do to improve movei.
