That is good SG.
I like idea of you finding a Morphy loss to select the moves from.
He himself I'm sure would have liked that too.
A possible whole new Genre of Chess Problems can be created using the moves
played by famous players.
You could even choose an opening for the key moves . Though I'm sure Loyd
did a mate in 3 with The Ruy Lopez Theme.
The solution was 1.e4 2.Nf3. 3Bb5 mate.

[Obviously, I was careful to avoid any key or continuations that were unlikely to match up to moves from a real game, like axb8=N or even Na1 🙂]
The fact that I pulled my key move from a Morphy's loss is entirely coincidental.
