I cannot solve either in a reasonable time with or without hash tables. :(
For the second position, I solve at ply 21 after more than a minute of thinking.
There is is probably some big bug in my search that doesn't have to do with hash
tables, as it seems that William Bryant was able to solve at ply 13. This is
distressing (not his success, but my failure). :(
