Movei does not consider pair of bishops in it's evaluation.

If we look at pawns and pawn structure then the score is about 0.4 pawns for
black based on Movei's evaluation(black has one pawn more but movei reduce 0.3
pawns for every case that there are 2 pawns in the same file).

Movei evaluates usually bishop as slightly more than knight but
in this position it is not the case because the knights have better squares

Movei gives white a small positional advantage because of better mobility except
the root position when the black rook is more active than the white rook.

I guess that this is the reason for the scores that are close to 0.00 score.

At big depth movei can see advntage for white that is increasing
Here is movei's output for depth 18-21

Depth 18 0.36 for white
Depth 19 0.45 for white
depth 20 0.47 for white
depth 21 0.54 for white

debug file(the negative number of nodes is not a problem that
is important for me today)
