Can you give an example, and details of version/platform/compiler etc as
I can't reproduce this.

To be in SAN they would have to be disambiguated, as the standard
requires it, so if we deviate please tell us.

1. e3 Nc3 2. Ne2 d5 3. Ne2 - "show moves" includes Nbc3 and Nec3
disambiguating the choice of Knight. Can you give an example of where
the output is ambiguous?

The user commands all use SAN, we could probably change them when in
xboard mode to use coordinate notation, but I'd rather fix GNU Chess to
use SAN everywhere in xboard mode as well, as I see not using SAN as a
bug, not a feature.
