Here's an opening bug I just found while playing it against my Excalibur Grandmaster in my Affordable Computer Chess Tournament. When playing White against the King's Indian Defense:
1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 g6
3. Nc3 Bg7
4. e4 d6
5. Bh6??
Now I'm no opening expert, but that move just flat out loses. There's no compensation at all for this Bishop sacrifice. In the game, I forced White to play 5. Nf3, the usual continuation.

Interesting
i can also confirm the bug in model 6080 however i tried this on the other 3 Excellence models
6080B,EP12 and 4.0
the EP12 AND 4.0 will play 5.Nf3
6080B plays 5.Be2
previously i always thought 6080 and 6080B were exactly the same except for some changes to the mother board
now i think you uncovered that the B removed this bug(and perhaps other still undiscovered ones)
Good Bug Hunting Regards
