I can guarantee you that there is no bug that is going to cause it to play
1. e4 as white.  :)  And should black try something cute like 1. d4 c5, we
aren't going to try to transpose with Nf3 or anything like that either.  :)

No chance.  Our book isn't ridiculously wide, but at least we are going to
avoid the known bashes from London.  One day it will play those lines just
fine, when I have time to tune it better.  For the present, we go by the
philosophy "if you can't get it off your shoe, don't step in it."
