    Rd2 and then Rh2 or Rh3 depending on how black moves.

    I’m not too familiar with chess notation so hope I got that right

      Correct, avoiding the stalemate trap and opening the door for the rook on a3 to swing over and deliver mate with a beautiful sacrifice.

        Still not mate in 2:

        Rd2 - Qxe4
        Rh2 - Qh4
        Rxh4#

          If the queen leaves the backrank, you can take the bishop with checkmate: Rd2 - Qxe4 - Rxd8# :)

        If pawn takes the rook on d2, then the other rook goes to h3 for mate

            Kg1 is a white king move…? I’m confused what you mean. Maybe you mean Kg8? If so, the bishop is covering that square so the king shouldn’t be able to move there…

    Rxc3, then either Rh3 or Rxd8, depending on Black’s next move.

    I could find only Re3, but I’m unsure. Anyway, It is a mate in 3, not 2

          Re7 is interesting, but Bxe7 Rxa8 Bd/f8 is not mate in 2 like you said
