If you want to fix LBG, 2 main bugs must be fixed: 50move draw-rule is buggy (draw not after 100, but 101 plies... wrong) and (main bug): en passant captured pawns are not deleted, when ep happens in a pgn-opening line in a pgn-openings-file.. If both would be fixed, LBG could be used today. But honestly, since cutechess-cli is able to play openings sequentially and repeated in a gauntlet (since 2021), I see no need to use LBG anymore as a tester, because cutechess-cli is much better. My 2cents.
