[Retros] Sam Loyd's Cyclopedia of Puzzles; Fabel's source again

[pastmaker at aol.com]

I would guess that "Antom Ph" is not a misprint, just a suggestion of something immaterial.
Regards to all.

Hello,
Max Weiss and Hieronymus Fischer were quite well aware of each other (as I 
earned when I read the "Wiener Schachzeitung" from 1898-1949 completely!).
o I guess that the latter would have corrected the former if he wrongly wanted 
o ascribe a problem to him.
Jeremy Gaige (in his book "Chess Personalia") gives the following pseudonyms of 
ax Weiss: "Antom Ph" (perhaps a misprint for "Anton Ph"), "Ernest Bisani", 
Problematicus".
Like Mario, I would be very interested in early sources which ascribe the 
roblem to Loyd. Of course it would be best if the original publication (by Loyd 
r Fischer) in a magazine could be found.
n the other hand, it is also possible that Fischer contributed originals to 
eiss's book...
Best wishes,
Bernd

 I know Fabel's book, so I knew that the problem is there attributed to 
.Fischer.
 My guess was, that - since Fabel's book as well as the one by Problematicus
 are only collections of problems published elsewhere, the attribution to 
.Fischer
 might be only a misinterpretation of something like "H.F." - a pseudonym, that
 was used by Sam Loyd.
 
 I took the information, that the above problem was composed by S.Loyd,
 from the book "Schachmatnaja Mosaika" by V.M.Archakov (Kiev,1984), where it is
 given as problem no.388 and even is surrounded by a little story, that 
xplains,
 why Loyd composed this problem.
 
 So it would be good to know the original source of the above problem.
 Anybody outthere who can help?
 
 
 > By the way: "Problematicus" really is a pseudonym (of Max Weiss)!
 
 Another pseudonym of Max Weiss was "Traumulus".
 Are there any further "...us"-pseudonyms?
 
 Best wishes,
 
   mario
