Movei failed low after that move.
I agree that f5 was a blunder.

probably one ply later could be enough but I will check later.

Right now I am fixing a problem in the time management of movei with ponder on.

In previous rounds there was a problem of using too much time after playing the
expected move.

In this game the problem was the opposite and movei did not use enough time so I
decided to increase the maximal time that it can use from 1/2 of the remaining
time to 3/4 of the remaining time and all the decisions when to stop to play
that are results of the belief about that time are going to be  multiplied by
3/2.
