Cheltsov's nonrationality conjecture for Fano-Enriques threefolds

From papers

Let XX be a Fano-Enriques threefold whose canonical covering VV is smooth. Suppose that VV is one of the following varieties: the double covering of a quadric ramified in a divisor of degree 88; the complete intersection of three quadrics in P6\mathbb{P}^6; or the double covering of P1×P1×P1\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1 ramified in a divisor of degree (2,2,2)(2,2,2).

Cheltsov's conjecture. In each of these three cases, XX is not rational.

This conjecture concerns the remaining smooth-covering cases after known rationality and nonrationality results for Fano-Enriques threefolds. The source attributes it to I. Cheltsov; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
