some questions(It is possible that you told me by email but I am not near the
right computer to check the emails at this moment):

1)Which gnu do you test?
There is more than one gnuchess

2)Does Movei changes it's mind from 1...a5 to 1...b6 and 1...b5 with black?

I had some problems with the code because I used undefined varaible and in some
situation the computer does not remember it's value and assumes that the value
is 0 and it is wrong.

For some reason it does not happen always(otherwise I could understand that
there is a problem in my code earlier).

Thanks to Dieter's explanation on the winboard forum I understand the problem.

I am going to fix it when I have excess to my code(I do not have the source code
of the latest movei in this computer).

Note that 50 game match may be too much because I expect after 40 games that
Movei is going to repeat the same opening.
