despite some slight transposition
bugs as result of sometimes strange moves (eg Ng1f3 e5 Nf3g1 ?)

Are there other known transposition bugs when using Bookbuilder? Is there some easy way to find games with these transposition bugs, after converting the book to pgn with bb36c. I open the pgn in Chessbase and convert to cbh format so I can do some searches. If I could find al games with these transposition bugs, I could delete these games. So only the games with the useful transpositions are preserved.
I know it is possible to search with pgn-extract for games with threefold repetition, and delete them. But that's not helpful for finding these transposition bugs.
