Is there any reson behind this and what is the solution for each position? Is
the only aim to FIND a mate? If that is all just copy all the FEN lines into  a
"positions.epd", start the Shredder Classic 1.1 GUI with your favorite engine,
goto "Mode" -> "Analyse positions", select the "positions.epd", give an extra
ply of "0" (zero) and start it. You will get 140 "No solution given" and as a
result of this a 140 "Wrong solution" for every single position but a engine
should find 140 mates (not necessarily the shortest one)

S8 need 1 minute 49 seconds with 256 MB Hash on a A@2200MHz. I am sure there are
engines that are faster.
