Four positions from a pawn test suite I am working on... The first three have clear, alternate checkmates. The last one, I have not been able to solve yet (maybe just really hard). Questions: Are the *given* solutions correct (Ke6, Kd2, and Kf6 respectively) for the first 3 problems? On the 4th problem, is the solution known to be solid? [D]8/8/1k1K4/pP6/P7/8/8/8 w - - bm Ke6 Kd5; id "J&S43.12"; c0 "Kd5 is a mate in 19 as shown by Yace"; [D]8/8/8/4kPp1/6P1/4K3/8/8 w - - bm Kd2 Ke2; id "J&S43.13"; c0 "Ke2 is a mate in 21 as shown by Yace"; [D]8/5p2/7p/5pk1/8/5KPP/8/8 b - - bm Kf6 h5; id "(JAFM) CCC#191597"; c0 "h5 is a mate in 43 according to Yace"; [D]3k4/2p5/1pKp4/p2P4/2P5/P7/1P6/8 w - - bm c5; id "J&S45.10"; c0 "This one is questionable.";
