I had my program Patzer run this test with 27.5 minutes per position
over
night on a Sun Ultrastation 167 MHz:

Pos. 1 Qa4 till 6:07 then changed to Ra1 ( does this count for 5 minutes
:-)
Pos. 2   9:05
Pos. 7   0:06
Pos.11  16:22
Pos.12   0:00
Pos.13   0:00
Pos.14  14:14
Pos.15   0:24
Pos.16  10:53
Pos.18   0:00
Pos.19  18:55
Pos.21   0:03

Position 1 shows that it is not enough to wait only 5 minutes.

I am curious:
Which positions were "solved" by which program in which time with which
eval?
