PUZZLE in TWO: "Is it easy?"
How about 1. Qe3 followed by Rf1#? Since White king is supervising second rank the only move for Black is to move the Rook somewhere or take the Queen. Neither seem to avoid mate...
Cronos, why do you keep adding crap to your posts?
And 1. Qf3 blocks the rook, so 1... Re2 prevents mate in two.
Phobetor and people: I DO NOT add crap to my posts. Every time I make one *that crap* appears, even if I re-edit the post and delete it. It must be glitch.

also, 1. Rf1 Kc1 2. Rxe1# works as well
The bottom of the board is 1, so it will be Rf1 the next move of black is Kc1 then black can escape to Kd2, it will be not mate in two.
queen sacrifice is not the only solution.
what about 1. Rf1? there's a discovered check from the bishop and the king is forced to move to a1 or c1. regardless of where he moves, 2. R X R is a mate.
The bottom of the board is 1, so it will be Rf1 the next move of black is Kc1 then black can escape to Kd2, it will be not mate in two.
Black cant escape to kd2, the pawn would get him. Rf1 is another way to solve it

The white pawn movement is upward, and the white are always on the row 1 and row 2 from the start of the game. Rf1 - the number 1 indicates that it's in the row 1, a territory of white.
Maybe we can request to the staff of chess.com to put some labels on the side of chessboard.
