No, it means that the ChessBase adapter had been modified slightly to work
better with the UCI-WinBoard adapter by Roland Pfister. In this case it was a
question of handling underpromotions correctly.

As far as I understand the output from the UCI-WinBoard adapter could be b7b8n,
symbolizing a knight promotion. However, the WinBoard adapter only understood
b7b8N and interpreted it as b7b8Q by default instead.

This can cause a few problems.
