I already found the bug but
I think that in this type of position movei even without bug is not going to
solve it in a reasonable time even if I change the limitation of search to more
than 100 plies.

The problem is that movei is aggresive in extending single reply only when the
side that force the single reply has significant disadvantage and does not
extend at all single replies when the side that force them has the advantage and
in this position after enough moves the side that force the single reply get the
advantage.

Movei many moves after the initial position cannot see mate at depth 15 inspite
of the fact that 100 plies are clearly enough for it and it should be mate in 46
if mate in 69 is correct in the initial position
