From what I could see, most of these are opening "trap"-type situations. Yes,
they occur in the opening, but many of these have relatively shallow reasons for
the positional decision. The only one that has not been solved by a computer
(according to the test, and my own experimentation) in 2 minutes is #22, which
is in Shredder's book (and I would assume others too).
