The concept of each black pawn move requiring a different mate in quite nice, and, since there are a number of “tries” in the position, it just goes to show the apparent simplicity of the position and minimal pieces used can be very enjoyable: 1. Qa8 b2 (1... c3 2. Kxb3#) (1... d4 2. Qh1#) 2. Kb4# It’s a fun teaching composition as well for the “youngins.”
