There the achievements of my life go down the drain. The prizes no more than pyrite instead of gold. I'm ashamed. I want to give back the prize of Rochade Europa 2008-2009.
I got that mail with the study above from Sergiy Didukh in 2008 and somehow forgot about it. And today, searching another one, I find this one again. Well, at least it is something I can use for an upcoming article maybe.
(EDIT: Corrected year of publication and detail about the mail)

You didn't intend for this to happen, so don't be too critical. A similar situation "happened" to me.
For the July 1976 cover of Chess Life, Pal Benko composed 8 mate-in-3 problems in the shapes 1-7-7-6 and 1-9-7-6. One of the "7" shapes really appealed to me, and I copied it into one of my chess notebooks -- with no publication details.
Fast-forward a few years: on rummaging through my chess notes, I stumble upon this nice looking #3 with a "7" shape. I wondered: Why didn't I ever publish it? Long story short: I ended up submitting it to (guess how) Pal Benko for his column! Fortunately, he was kind enough to "overlook" my mental lapse.

Ultimately it resulted in me and Richard Becker discovering other ways to show four knight promotions in a pawn endgame, so at least it wasn't a complete waste.
