These are a pair of positions I composed when trying to test certain bits of logic in my bot. I thought someone else might find them amusing.

1b re2 mh4 rd5 rg5 cb6 rc6 ef6 dh6 hc7 rd7 df7 hb8 re8
2w

Both are gold's turn, what is the result under optimal play? Enjoy!

I believe I have the solutions. Is there a good way to post spoilers in this forum?
Very cute positions, by the way  Smiley

Not hard as puzzles, but still cute and interesting to go through.

No spoiler, but if you think you figured it out in three moves like I did - don't check the solution right away. These are very peculiar positions.
