I'm not sure of the correct standard for best move (bm). I used
Rebel to create this file but then edited the epd as Rebel uses
the equal (=) sign. I've been told that is not the standard.
(Maybe in Rebel 10 - Ed?)

I'll keep a record of the ones that you find quickly. If all programs
find the same positions quickly then they would be good candidates for
deletion from the suite. Some of the ones with two key moves may be easy
but there
are not many of these.

Note that a number of positions are extremely difficult, like the Nolot
Suite. I've saved the past analysis of these positions from CCCposts.
Bruce in particular ran Ferret for quite a long time on some of them
before the key move proved its worth.
