With leonid's positions, it seems to be a good idea to put them in a file and
load them like this:

epdlrec [filename] [linenumber]

You DO need to put in the line number, even if there's only the one epd in the
file.

White(1): epdlrec new.epd 1
White(1): d
White(1): analyze
middle-game phase
              clearing hash tables
