Oh well, sometimes you find the right move for the wrong reasons, seems ruffian
also changed after a while to e4.

I did find one bug though, the knight tables were being multiplied with a factor
5, I forgot all about that. It was just a quick test to adjust all piece square
scores at once, but seems I forgot to remove it, no wonder evaluation was off.

However I now found a new bug!

I have turned off everything, killers, hashtable, nullmove, using only material
eval and I get this

1	0	0	3		1.dxe5 Bxe5
2	0	0	79		1.dxe5 Bxe5
3	0	1	521		1.dxe5 Bxe5 2.Rb1
4	165	1	3608		1.dxe5 Nb3
5	335	4	22022		1.dxe5 e4
6	380	11	81855		1.dxe5 Nf3
7	435	43	373682		1.dxe5 e4
8	165	284	2628534		1.dxe5 e4
9	165	986	9151622		1.dxe5 e4

white is better by up to 4.35 pawns and dxe5 Nf3 is illegal.

I dont know what is going on here....
