Should be pretty easy if you've seen this kind of tactic before: Rxh3+ forces the capture of the rook (gxh3) to play Qh3#, where the king CANNOT go to g1 because of the dark-squared bishop covering that diagonal.
For those who have yet to see it, however, they would probably be scared of playing 1...Rxh3+ for fear they "lose a rook for a pawn".
I know 1...Rxh3+ wins, but I tried to be over-confident in my head by considering 1...Qh3+ first.

Black to move! How does black force a checkmate in two moves? This position was taken from a game that I recently played.
