    assuming it is white player in the bottom side...its a mate in 3.

    1.Qd5 Bg3 2.Be6+ Bxe6 3.Qxe6#.  there are other 3 move mates as well, but as far as i see no mate in 2.

    I think that this might work:

    1. Rf to e8 (with the threat of Re8 to e4#) Bxe8 2. Be6#

    OR

    1. Qd5 Bg3 2. Qf3#  

    OR

    1. Qd5 Bc6 2. Be6#

    Bg3 pretty much closes off Mate in two. or Qe5..Bf5 holds off mate in two from white on the bottom.

    eir44, this is poorly set out. Is white at the bottom or the top?

    Assuming white is at the bottom (which is the normal convention), then there are several moves that seem to work: Bc3 or Bc4 both threaten mate with the B(either Bd1# or Be2#); black's only countermove would be with the B(d7)c6 so that he can intervene and ruin mate in two, but that would be met with Qf5# or Be6#. So the puzzle has multiple solutions.

    The same threat works if we assume black is at the bottom; the only "new" moves are the black pawns at a4 and b4, and neither of them changes the basic mate threat by the white B.

     I believe that fails to 1 ... Ke6

    2 Be6+ Kg6
    2 Qc2+ kf6

    Rh8 is the move.

    After 1. Qa4, black may play any move, any move, any move, any move.

    The mate follows by these moves (depending on blacks move) :

    1...Bxa4  2. Be6+#

    1...Kf5   2. Bxh5+#2.                     

    1...Bg3, Bf2, Be1      2. Qxd7+#                  

    1...Bc8, Be6, Bf5      2. Qd1+#  o

    Sorry everybody but ...Bg3 opens h3 (the get away square) For almost all mate in two variations.  There is no Mate in two here.  Except Qa4!! I see it now.
