I'd hardly >make a list of every silly move in a postions and label them 'avoid move'. :-) If a strong chess engine after 15 minutes of analysis makes the mistake, then I think it is an ideal avoid move position. >I don't know what 'pm' stands for though. Still, what I can easily do is list >what are considered the most apt candidates for the opening positions. pm is predicted move (this is what I decided to do) bm is best move (subjectively, what is the best thing to do here) am is avoid move (I think that an am move should be tempting, but bad, so things like sticking your queen in front of a pawn for no particular reason do not qualify)
