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

I know Fabel's book, so I knew that the problem is there attributed to H.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 H.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 explains,
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,
