} 33. Rcf2 {[%emt 0:00:07]} ...

It seems it was played under a Chessbase GUI.


Here the position after 32. .. h6
[D]3r2k1/1b2qp2/1P3npp/4p3/p1B1p3/P3P1NP/1QR3P1/3r1RK1 w - - 0 33


What's here the rigth SAN notation for move 33.

Winboard and Holmes produces here Rf2 instead of Rcf2, because Rff2 isn't a
legal move.

I have made in Holmes for excample a book out of cleanbook.pgn with over 75.000
games and Holmes has readed all games without errors.

This was the first game where Holmes has problems to read a PGN game, because of
the move "Rcf2", Holmes expected here "Rf2".

So what should be here the right SAN notation?

Thanks for any hints.
