compare with puzzle #50414 and puzzle #50412 the aim of this variations is to find out some solution like Loyd's first thought (Nf5+ with a mate in 6), not just to copy puzzles from some source they are likely almost all, in the Internet anyway, but to create something new and presumably interesting. See the external link to the source of my idea timkr.home.xs4all.nl.

here is the extract from timkr.home.xs4all.nl:

"However, as Loyd himself mentioned, 24.Qe6 was not really played. Instead, he announced a mate in 6, beginning with 24.Nf5+. Only a quarter of a century later, did he "announce a mate more in accordance with the modern preference for problems in a few moves," with Qe6."
