Found a bug in gnushogi: when I introduced COL/ROW_NAME years ago I
did not notice that the reverse transform (ie. name to number) were
identical, so wrote no macro for the reverse transform.

Now for xboard protocol, the recoprocal transform is not identical any
more, and this breaks EditBoard.  Fix under way - and no problem on
xboard side.
