Not every EPD position has a bm or pm.
In fact, I would say that the bm and pm are not known for certain, though there
are probably only a few candidates.

No.  That's Albert's target.  I do not care what programs do from there.  I want
to see if the chess engine understands the position.

It is plain to me.  Does Rybka come up with a classical response?  How about a
novelty?  I think that one hour and even 24 hour analysis may be fruitful.

I do not think that analysis changes the importance of anything either.
