This isn't really a mate in 2, after 1...Qc7+, black must be ahead.

This can't really be a puzzle because Rxa2 is not a forced move. As RyanMK said, Qc7+ would prevent the mate and give black a SIGNIFICANT advantage. Nice try, though. :)

Play Rg8+ as your first move, followed by Be2+ and Bxg4#

I was thinking play

1. Rg8+  Kh5

2. Bf7#

to secure the mate in 2

Is that wrong?

or you can just place a pawn on c7/c6/c5 etc.. and then it would be a mate in 3 because of Qe3+
