White to move to mate in 2

w!Ld - 2.4yr

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

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

Not sure how either rook would reach e3?

Lol

I was thinking Re7!

I was distracted cause I'm on the road

Akasazh @feddit.nl - 2.4yr

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

2
Responsabilidade - 2.4yr

Yes, I know. At least 3 moves

I said that at the original comment

Akasazh @feddit.nl - 2.4yr

Yeah I just saw, just edited my own
