Why do you need weak by default?

It is possible to change the personality of Movei to make it weak.
I guess that if you change the piece square table of Movei to tell it that a
queen is less than a pawn and that knights have negative value it will do the
trick(I never tried it but people who are interested in doing it  can do it).
