This composition certainly won't win any prizes.  The pawns on a2, a5, a6 & f3,
are all irrelevant to the solution, on white's second move either Nd8 or Ne7
leads to a mate in 3, the moves leading to mate are all the most obvious moves
available, and black has no defensive tries that in any way affect whites plan.

BTW, what is "Colin's checkmate composer"?
