I guess that 2500 is a realistic value for movei

I know based on previous tournaments of thorsten that updates are allowed during
the tournament and the tournament takes some months.

I already did some changes since 112 including correction of a small bug that
has no significant influence on the playing strength of the program(Movei
evaluated K vs KNN as better for the lone king instead of evaluating it as 0.00
and only if search found that it can force repetition or sacrifice of one knight
it understood that it is a draw).


I will probably send a new version(hopefully with a better opening book of my
beta tester) when the list of the participants is going to be completed.
