New versions of old themes

A delightfully new variation on the old, familiar Philidor's smothered mate. We have had a lot of these in the puzzles in the past, but this is a nicely executed version of it.

I loved it! This kind of combination has always been at the heart of my fascination with the game.

Excellent!!

Really beautiful, is there any possibility to save this for personal future reference?

The only way that I can see to save it is just to take the number of it (at the top when you first open it) and keep it somewhere. GameKnot gives us the option in the Menu to locate any puzzle that they have just from the number.
