I compared with the output of latest movei not public version and still not
tested enough but one of the modification is some improvement of the recapture
extension

The result is that the last position is solved clearly faster and if you use
fast hardware then movei needs less than 30 seconds.

I give output of latest still not tested enough movei

Note that the last position is more endgame position so I expect the fact that
movei does not use hash table in an efficient way to be more counter productive.
