Thank you Olaf!
This cook seems easy to fix.
However, Zalmen, there are some objections
- I agree with Olaf (27) that the length of 17# for the content of the Golovkov is optimal
- the main thing I am trying to add is a third evacuation sacrifice that is an extension of the thematic content, it brings the length to 18# for thematic purpose. Also, to free e1 is slightly better than c1 because the king visits e1 only at the end of his trip.
- you say "...34b: seems ok, if You don't care for the trial after 17...Rxf6..." but in that case 17...Rxf6 is not a move to consider, it does not defend the threat.
- you say "...34a: should still close the d3-d8 line..." of course! I overlooked it! so perhaps :
 (= 14+7 )

The last 17 moves of all 3 problems (#40, #41) are C+.
A full test would be too hard.

Thank you Olaf!
May I ask you also to test also the (30) b ?
Thank you very much!

@Olaf
(41) seems to be cooked by 1.Sd3! (and also perhaps 1.Sdf3!)
am I right ?

Getting rid of white material in order to beat a rambling rook has been done often, of course.

Indeed, 1.Sd3! and 1.Sdf3! are cooks. Gustav found the variations.

A third sacrifice can be included in that sketch, extending the solution a pair of ply to #19 (shifted the key Knight to b8, as with it in e5 or c5 there're demolitions, and in b6 then 1.d3 is a cook
 (= 14+6 )

Dear Olaf, very kind of You posting yet that test. In this last diagram the most dangerous try is 1.f3. I'm still waiting for a Stockfish 'opinion' but found already this cute cook in my own progressive/selective partial tests (mate in 8 from 11.Kf2.
1.f3 Rxb8 2.Nc5 Rb5 3.Ne6 fxe6 4.Ra7+ Bf7 5.Rxf7+ Kg8 6.Rg7+ Kf8 7.Ba3+ Ke8 8.f7+ Kd8 9.Rg8+ Kd7 10.f8=Q Rxg5+ 11.Kf2 *
Best Regards

With a bNh8 looks safer
 (= 14+6 )
#19

Safer and more economical too.
The last 18 moves of problem (54) are C+.
A full test would be too hard.

Sure. Moreover, with the bNh8, there's no need of covering g5 with the wNe4, so it can go to d5. The wPd4 now is useless, so it can go to g2, and the Bishop back to the box... The key Knight can be shifted to another place (but not e5 due to a cook). wN from b8 to b6 is fine. And we're back to Jacques' first diagram in this thread (with a Knight in h8) 'Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose'...
@ Jacques: Your (29) #18 is a #19, with the humorous detail that the rambling Rook is captured with checkmate. The piece in h8 shall be a black Knight, and there's a very high possibility that the Problem is actually C+

@Zalmen, I am not enthusiastic, I'll give soon more details.

another outstanding problem by a not so well-known outstanding author : Marsil Gafarov
https://youtu.be/C_tkR3zfEBI
I am most interested in more details about Gafarov, if somebody knows...
also there is a difference in year of death : in Winchloe 1975, in http://chesscomposers.blogspot.com/search?q=gafarov written 1978
