3 problems missing in Cyclone

Some problems are not mentioned in the book.
Here you can see 3 such of the most interesting with the most curious stories.

Milan did not give me his fairy twomover for the book, because, as he has said, he was too young and the problem is not a real fairy one.

I have overlooked Levīs very early and very good threemover showing the Ceriani cycle in variations. Sorry...

And, when finishing the book, Iīve been in contact with Valerij, who either forgot or did not want to show the joint problem with Herman. But itīs a complete Lacny cycle in a fourmover!
