Movei assumes that the maximal number of queens that a side has is 9.

I do not know what happens if you try movei in that position but I suggest that
you do not do it.

I cannot promise you that it is not going to delete important files from your
computer

To tell the truth
I do not know if I am lucky that no important file was deleted from my computer
with all the bugs of movei.

I think that it is a good question if it is possible that a program will delete
files because of a bug when I have no command to open them.

In order to do it one command that is not legal can be interpreted as open some
file and another illegal command can be interpreted as deleting the same file.
