I guess my point is that some of these might be in the same league as
the Nolot problems, and it would be a travesty to include a solution
move that spoiled something like this.

For example, I think 1. Nf3 wins in Nolot #5 (eval = +2 after a couple
of days), but DT found 1. e5!! after 4 hours with an eval of > +3.

Didn't someone try to claim that that that famous Botvinnik position:

8/p3q1kp/1p2Pnp1/3pQ3/2pP4/1nP3N1/1B4PP/6K w - - 0 1

was cooked becase after 1. h4, 2. Ba3 is still going to happen?
