    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…
