I tried to solve your first position but 6 moves took already 2 min and 45 sec.
Disgracefully, I needed my computer to go farther. Programs that use hash will
do much better, like Heiner mate solver.

Time of search by brute force (perfect search). Celeron 600Mhz. LLchess mate
solver.

4 moves - 0.44 sec
5 moves - 9.39 sec
6 moves - 2 min 45 sec

Will try later, if it will be possible, to put my computer for search for night
already for 9 moves. Maybe mate will come sooner that it is suggested after my
branching factor. My selective search (one that find mate rapidly) here is
useless.

Thanks for your positions!
Leonid.
