I have to go along with the human answer also, but I have seen the human experts
get it wrong too many times to simply believe it.  If you look at ECM, you will
see a staggering number of the original answers in that set are just plain
wrong, some of them comically so (e.g. no matter what you do, you are going to
get checkmated shortly.  Forget about any 'bm')

I actually think all chess position tests are 'open questions' until forced
checkmate or forced draw is found one way or the other.
