Three beautiful arrangements: Tui Leshan, Přemysl Zíka, niwa

Some time ago that I have these puzzles in my archive, but so far I have not decided to solve them. The four puzzles have something in common: they are authentic works of art.

Title: Chuchubi 10 #10 Tour de France h1x2
Date: 2016.2.28
Difficulty: 7
Best moves/pushes: 1172/225
URL: bbs.mf8-china.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=37579&extra=page%3D1&page=129

"Tour de France" is a beautiful puzzle of Eric F. Tchong, of which were made up to 11 arrangements. The first arrangement was mine, and then, in a few days, followed the arrangements of stopheart and anian. The last version was the h1, by anian + stopheart, and I think it's the most interesting (best moves/pushes: 1096/215; date: 2010.5.23). Apparently, the arrangement of Tui Leshan seems a simplification of h1, but there are some small changes that make it a version much more exciting and fun to solve.

Tui Leshan has built only a few puzzles, but his works are very elaborate and studied. I love your puzzles! In addition, he has a great aesthetic sense, which makes their puzzles and arrangements are small works of art.

Best moves/pushes: 1345/205

It is perhaps the best arrangement I've seen in these last two years. Difficult, exciting, and fun to solve. A masterpiece. My rating difficulty: 7. Original level: 1,000,001 candlelights #32 april2014. I've arranged a little the map (left side).

Title: Sasquatch 48 r-2
Date: c. 2014
Difficulty: 6.5
Best moves/pushes: 3252/906

A master arrangement. Like the arrangement of York Shen, this one of niwa only adds 2 boxes, but 484 more moves are needed to solve it. That's great! This puzzle has not been published, although I'm not sure. Niwa sent it to me by e-mail.


Bonus!

Title: O
Set: Square Dance #32
Date: c. 2015
Difficulty: 8
Best moves/pushes: 1120/282

After several attempts, finally I've also solved this incredible "O". Really difficult. There are several positions that are not at all obvious. A little gem!
