Some time ago I found another error in the book file (this goes back to 3.21
for Windows 3.0), in the Queen's Gambit, Vienna Game.  There is a white move
"f1b5" which is an impossible move because the e-pawn hasn't moved yet.  I
verified the correct move with MCO-13 as "c1g5".  Does GNU Chess test the book
moves before it actually tries to execute them?

Spammers and other obnoxious morons cheerfully ignored.
