Leave your solutions here!
It is a pretty sequence, but as a composition it violates 3 rules.
1. The key move is a check. That is frowned upon.
2. Along the line there is a dual: 4 Qxd5+ and 4 Bxd5+ work just as well. The winning path should be unique.
Likewise 2 N5xa4+ works as well as 2 N3xa4+
3. The two white light square bishops are frowned upon.
You could convert the position to white to play and checkmate in 2; just the end of your composition, without all captures, checks, and duals.
Bb5 is a pretty key move: no check, no capture, unique.

Oh
My bad
In my opinion, it’s too easy. Like, a composition should have like its own meaning. A separate chord, ringing different from the rest. And, two light squared bishops? That’s a serious red flag.
hmm...
i just cannot think of anything else
but i will try my best to make another one
