Hello Mike:

The "bm" (best move(s)) EPD operator can take one or more operands, each
of which is considered a "best move" for the position.  It is unlike the
"pm" (predicted move) EPD operator which always takes a single operand (the
move predicted by analysis.  Similar to the "bm" operator is the "am" (avoid
move(s)) operator which lists one or more unsatisfactory moves.
