Latest Movei(that is probably the best movei so far) finds 14.Nd5 but changes
it's mind later to 14.Nd3

The reason is the fact that I teached it about isolated pawns(0.1 pawns panelty
for every isolated pawn).

Movei also evaluate the difference beteen rook and bishop only as 1.5 pawns and
not 2 pawns.

It can help it to avoid bad trades of rook and pawn against bishop and knight.

Maybe I should reduce the value of the bishop and the knight or increase the
value of the rook by 0.2 pawns but the point is that Nd3 is evaluated as close
to 0.5 pawn advantage for white(I find that Fritz8 also evaluates the position
after Nd3 as more than 0.3 pawns for white so the difference between Movei's
evaluation and Fritz8's evaluation is not big).
