Well, you still get credit for it. It is possible that some of the "am"
positions really have a "best move" and should be changed to "bm".
E.g. in #1, Crafty prefers Bc3 after a while and seems to think it draws.
Or if another move besides the one in the "am" list is bad but tempting, perhaps
"am" should include both. But generally I am reluctant to make
changes like this unless I'm really convinced the changes are correct.
