Thanks

I will use these positions as test positions for movei.
1)a possible reason for choosing Be3 is that I added some bonus for being able
to capture the opponent pieces(I already have bonus based on the number of legal
moves but I feel that being able to capture the opponent pieces may be more
important and even if the capture is a bad capture it may force the opponent to
defend so it is one of the new things in latest movei(it is possible to disable
the bonus by changing parameters).

I have only a small bonus for being able to captures but it is possible that the
small bonus pushed movei to choose Be3 with the idea Bc5 and later Rd1 with the
idea to be able to capture with the rook.

I will check it.

2)The purpose of Bc5 is also to prevent Be5 that is possible after Ng5
