No, what I mean was, suppose for each move in a chess game, we have the each current board position given as an EPD, and then the move that actually *was* made, we call either the pm or the bm. This would be useful (for instance) in parsing a large collection of super-GM games for computer analysis. It would also be very nice to see something like this for analyzing opening books. It would be especially helpful to analyze the "edge" of the book file -- look at every position where we fall out of book. For that position, look at what the epd is and the pm, and then analyze the heck out of it. We could use this for the purpose of finding positions that our chess engine will not understand (despite their validity) as well as positions which are simply gaffes.
