still better than Movei

Movei found only mate in 11 and needed almost 5 minutes on p800 that is faster
than your celeron.

only after almost 10 minutes it could see mate in 10
The pv may be wrong in the last plies because movei has some bugs about the pv
in the qsearch that I still did not investigate.

The first position that you posted is not too easy and it is too hard for Movei
that cannot find even material advantage for white in 20 minutes.
