Yes, so did I at first; however, smother mate would have taken 5 moves.
4 moves instead of 5.

More aestetic :D I opted for this one too ^^
Even though I saw both...I'd take the extra move for a smother mate in a real game. Even if I had .5 seconds on the clock. I play chess to have fun. Smother mates are fun =P.
The puzzle would have been better with the rook on C8, after NC7+, RXN is met with QD8+ followed by mate or KB8; NA6+ double check, RA8, QB8+, RXQ and NC7++
Solved in 4. I have solved this puzzle.
What about:
Qd6+,Ka8
KNc7+, Kb8
Na6+, Ka8
Qb8+, RXb8
Nc8#
