Strange isn't it?  But with Amy, that gets mislabeled that way from feeding it a
position.  I've fed Amy positions that were far into the midgame, but Amy called
it an opening.  But at that point, Amy hasn't analyzed anything yet, so I don't
think it's a problem, Amy tried to look at the tablebase several times, so after
Amy looked at it, she knew what was happening:

Nodes = 4479284, QPerc: 49 %, time = 277.4 secs, 16.1 kN/s
Extensions: Check: 903034  DblChk: 156  DiscChk: 1290  SingReply: 68718
            Recapture: 11401   Passed Pawn: 137368   Zugzwang: 91
Hashing: Trans: 562952/2248712 = 25 %   Pawn: 1217916/1228336 = 99 %
         Eval: 986797/2215133 = 44 %
EGTB Hits/Probes = 83/105
Hashtable 1:  entries = 1048576, use = 420119
White(1):

I'll be back.
