I always enjoy seeing these "simple pleasures."
I often wonder: what was (will be?) the last "classical" problem to earn a 1st prize? |

There is here yet a small detail...not very "classical"...
The Sa4 has no use in the solution : take it out and the solution is the same !
Is it a defect ? perhaps ... but very very small, I think. |

You would lose the try 1.c6 then. |
