I was "revising" my memories of Felix Sonnenfeld, and the name of Lev Loshinsky came to my mind. He was Felix' favorite composer. Among Loshinsky's problems, at least two are very special to Felix. The threemover I show here was in fact "the best problem ever composed", according to Sonnenfeld (maybe Roberto could correct me if I am wrong; I remember me showing him that problem...).
So, here are the problems. I forgot the solutions...

I am not sure which problem I would choose as the best (threemover) ever composed, but I have no doubts who signed it. For me, the following position is one of the greatest wonders ever created on the chessboard:
Lev Loshinsky
Uralsky rabochy 1946
1st Prize
