Hi Renze,

I´ve checked your positions with ChestUCI 3.7 and until now have verified the
first 6 positions to be correct, i.e. a mate.
(take care, that 2 positions are mate for black after white´s first move)
The other 4 positions are a little bit harder in brute-force mode for ChestUCI
(at least on my slow notebook), so I´ll try them with ChestUCI´s special-mode -
of course this could also take some time, but I´ll post my results when I´m
ready with it.

Best regards,
Franz.
