shredder7 is not a fast searcher so I do not understand why the engine is so
lazy not to evaluate if the final position is mate.

shredder7 gives a main line when the last move is mate but evaluates the
position as only 1.31 against white.

Movei had a big fail low at depth 15 and here is the last analysis of movei(I
believe that there may be a bug in the last moves of the pv of movei but movei
is not a proffesional program.

In aby case movei has no problem to evaluate mate positions correctly because
number of legal moves is part of movei's evaluation.
