Yep. I did some tests to create exactly bookmoves that I want and it
didnt work yet.

I make the following pgn:

[site "?"]
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 d3!!

After import Crafty recognizes the "e4". Ok. When I actually play e4 the
move e5 in the Crafty book is followed by a "?" so Crafty doesnt play
it.

Where does that "?" come from and is there a way to avoid it? Again I
want to convert all my book positions to pgn lines, and put here and
there a !! to make Crafty always play that move. But Crafty should NOT
filter entered moves on its own (the questionmarks). Is there a way?

Thanks Bob.
