The solution is bm if it is a best move and am if it is a move to avoid.

Lookie here:
http://www.schachprobleme.de/chessml/faq/pgn/#16.2 where we have (among other
things):
16.2.14 Opcode "am": avoid move(s)
The opcode "am" indicates a set of zero or more moves, all immediately playable
from the current position, that are to be avoided in the opinion of the EPD
writer. Each operand is a SAN move; they appear in ASCII order.

16.2.15 Opcode "bm": best move(s)
The opcode "bm" indicates a set of zero or more moves, all immediately playable
from the current position, that are judged to the best available by the EPD
writer. Each operand is a SAN move; they appear in ASCII order.
