You have the right to ignore that position but it is
not pointless because people do not use chess programs only for
analysis of normal games but also for analysis of these kind
of positions.

Latest Movei cannot solve probably because
it disables check extensions when the attacker
has a big advantage(I can change it to do it only when the attacker
has also big advantage relative to beta but
I did not consider it as important because because movei
was meant to play games).

I guess that the previous position was more easy for it because
the attacker had not big material advantage before the mate
so movei extended.
