Very interesting research. Maybe I missed something you wrote somewhere or that is somehow implicit or obvious (in the case, I am sorry for the dumb question), but I can not figure out which side is to move in the proposed problems. Always White to move? It depends on the chessboard orientation? TIA.
I'm obviously missing something, because I have what I think is a really dumb/naive question: how does an engine need a depth of 31 find a mate-in-two (as it seems like you described at the very end)?

In mate in two problems it is always white to mov first :)
Thank you very much!
So I'm one of the only people who got the first problem wrong?
Cool. Cool.
you don’t have to tell anyone ;).. but you did get some of the harder ones, right?
I did. I think all the others. Above average speed for the last one, I think

Hope my explanation on twitter made sense
It did! Thanks!
I also meant to say: now I understand why looking at depth as an indicator of complexity makes some sense.
great! I’m looking forward to sharing the final results :)
