> I ran the 20 remaining positions (2 times each) with Houdini 3 tactical 20 min/position 4*4GHz.

Why from 31 positions are only 20 left?

e.g.:
15) .. Rb8xb4 Rb8xb4 * 282 Seconds
35) Bd3xh7 Bd3xh7 * 908 Seconds
42) e5-e6 e5-e6 * 209 Seconds
43) d4-d5 d4-d5 * 301 Seconds

are good positions, or not?

I didn't research positions proven OK.
I'll make a final conclusion in some days.
