Ah... it took me a while to decifer this Deiter...  I couldn't figure out why
you were getting fewer solution in more time :)

in 1 second Yace found 87 solutions
in 5 seconds Yace found 98 solutions
additionally, the solution to number 92 needed 8  seconds and
              the solution to number 71 needed 10 seconds.


I ran your corrected positions with GLC...


GLC didn't do anywhere near so well with null move switched on...
GLC 3.00, null on, 15s/pos, 24MB hash, AXP 2.1GHz:

 Passed 68 out of 100 (0 invalid)

GLC is much more successful with null move switched off...
