In the first position, Kittinger's engine gives up on Nxh2 after 5 seconds.
After that it has a tough time deciding on O-O or Rb8, and after a while settles
on O-O with a score of -1.19

In the second position, HMC agrees with Crafty that perhaps Qxg3 is "best",
although the score is steadily dropping and after about a minute (on my P3-733)
the eval is about -0.5.

In the third position, HMC gives up on Bxc4 instantly, preferring O-O-O with a
score of +1.15.

Finally, in the mating position, HMC does not announce a mate in less than five
minutes.
