I am seriously impressed that you admit checks in the qsearch! How do you know which move is a check without searching? I did try that once but abandoned it as too costly

Leaving that aside though, the problem I have with this explanation is simply that movei's own analysis doesn't appear to support your conclusions. The fact that movei considers the best response to 3 .. f6 to be a sequence of moves starting with Qh8+ must surely indicate it hasn't seen the consequence of g6. Otherwise that line would terminate much earlier.

Please understand that I intend no disrespect by this - I am sure that movei would eat ermintrude for breakfast. But I don't accept the explanation that some sort of static analysis after g6 is somehow directing movei to find Bg4 as a better move

Kind regards
