latest Movei has a bonus for passed pawns that are protected by pawns.
The result is that Movei sacrificed a piece for 3 pawns and won a blitz game
against Resp0.19 by Nxd5
Here is the position
[D]r1b1nrk1/1p4pp/p3p3/P1ppPp2/2B2P2/R1NP4/1PP2P1P/4K2R w K d6 0 19
When I test Movei on this position it later changes it's mind to Bb3 and exd6
I tried some top programs and they do not like the sacrifice.
As a human I am not sure if the sacrifice is correct(usually I prefer a piece
and not 3 pawns but here white gets protected passed pawns).
