Running gnuchessn 3.0 on a Sun 4/370 running 4.0.3 with gnuchess
compiled with gcc 1.37.1 or Sun cc fails with the following set
of moves when I play white and the computer plays black:


       score  depth   nodes  time                score  depth   nodes  time

 d2d4      0      0       0     2          d7d5      0      0       0     0
 e2e3      0      0       0     1          g8f6     -5      5   13061     8
 f1d3      0      0       0     6          e7e6      3      5   15818     9

My next move is b1d2, which the computer labels as an Ambiguous move.

It seems that you have been bitten by a rather nasty bug!

Gnuchess is correct: b1d2 could also be B1d2 or Bd2.

The ambiguity is between ECO/Informator style move entry and algebraic
move entry. Until a bugfix appears nd2 will do what you want.

The problem is that Xchess will not work unless the bug is fixed.

Oh, I did`nt realise that, here is a fast "bugfix" it just makes the
ECO/Move entry require Upper case for piece names:
Change this line in algbr() in the file nondsp.c:
      if ((mvstr[1][0] = qxx[board[f]]) == 'p')
to
      if ((mvstr[1][0] = pxx[board[f]]) == 'P')

Hope this is sufficient till someone fixes this properly, probably by
making algebraic or ECO notation different modes.
