Thanks, Paul!

Now I can see that second one is no far then 11 moves. I  can even put this
position at 10 moves by brute force for night. If braching factor will not
suddenly jump, then it should be enough time for me for finding its depth.

First position have excellent time!

Mine, on usual setting, found mate in 1.75 sec.

Cheers,
Leonid.
