What was the conclusion with the Eigenmann 12 Monkeys?

Those (unsolved) positions are still open. There may eventually be a conclusion, but I have to wait to do more runs. Currently I am running an experiment I call "Novelties". For my database of high quality filtered games, I have 283,195 opening positions which have been played 30 times or more. For most of these positions, my computer analysis matches calculated best move with most frequently played move. There are 74,482 positions where the computer analysis disagrees with the computer analysis for the best move to play but the computer chosen move is among the list of alternatives chosen from the database. But I also have 3,817 positions where the computer suggested move has never been played (at least not in my database of high quality games). Of these, for about 1/2 of them, the computer score is better than the calculated ce for the actual game theoretic outcome (IOW, the computer move is probably better than the best of the moves actually played). For the remaining 1,583 positions despite deep analysis, the computer has not calculated any of the moves actually played, and the computed score from actual games outcomes is a higher score than the computer calculated score. So I am analyzing these positions at deeper and deeper intervals. I have two machines that I use for this. One machine runs 24x7x365 and the other is at about 70%. I have a third 70% machine which I normally use for other experiments like 12 monkeys and Lyudmil, etc. However, that machine is currently doing a slow speed analysis test to compare the computing ability of 100 special opening positions at one hour each position between a slightly customized Stockfish variant and the latest Houdini to see which is better for opening analysis at one hour per position using 4 CPUs with 4G RAM at 3.2 GHz. The stockfish instance has already analyzed the 100 positions, and Houdini is currently at position 72. When that analysis completes, I will restart the Lyudmil experiment, interlaced with another one that I have running to come to a more definite answer. Currently, I suspect that for the remaining open positions, some will fall the way of the suggested moves and some will actually locate alternate, better moves. One way to help the computers is to get the actual game or analysis and let the computer analyze all of the positions, backwards from the termination. By doing this, we seed the hashtable with the suggested answer, starting with the superior position that is hoped to be obtained.

At any rate, the simple answer to your question is "No conclusion yet". When I come to a clear conclusion (if a clear conclusion is ever found, that is) I will publish the results here.

Fair enough. I started a run on my comparably modestly used machine with HIARCS 14 and Komodo 5, 30 minutes per position.
