Any compositions like this?

Thanks!

The PDB server also has it:

It says this puzzle was the longest known “Rambling Rook” problem. But now??

Yacpdb and the PDB server are great places to look for sources.
Then arves.org is your next best bet

But just to show that CCC isn't a bad place to look for puzzles neither, this Van Breukelen- study has been round here already several times too, in my database first entry's from 2015, maybe frome there then:

http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.p ... 05#p847305

Next thread was here then:

http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.p ... 54#p672254

The HTC (HardTalkchess) collections from Vincent Lejeune always are databases to look for puzzles too, here the study was in one of the collections under investigation then:

All these I found over forum- search, always be sure to exclude the move- number in fen at the end, otherwise error of too much signs arises regards

Of course I made some mistakes.

In my database it's #117, but didn't check again neither. Sometimes it's better not to be too nitpicking as for such details of no real matter to a study being not a mate in x problem

Some of my mistakes, such as 23. Kc6?, are serious. I will correct my solution when my headache gets better.

[Dann Corbit]

In addition, a study often follows a theme. If following the theme works 100% then it is probably better for humans to do it that way anyway.
I remember a windmill mate like that where there was a shorter solution but clearly harder to execute than the thematic solution.
