The tests for development appear to be called inappropriately if
a position is loaded from an EPD file in gnuchess 5.02

No impact on ordinary play, but means the program evaluates
positions differently between test cases, and the actual game.

It'll be fixed in the next version.

diff -r1.7 eval.c

<    if (board.castled[side] || GameCnt/2+1 >= 20)
---
>    if (board.castled[side] || !OPENING )
