This might be the hardest chess puzzle of all time! It involves a top secret tactic that has never been used in chess before! Can you solve it? 
White to move, mate in 2 (hint: the two kings are not a mistake, they are there for a reason):

I think that White is about to be checkmated, not Black

I think I realized what the 2 kings are for. You see, in normal chess you have to move your king when in check, but when you have 2 kings, you always have a spare king, so when you have only one of your kings in check, you dont have to move that king. Same if you have 2, because your opponent can only take one king at a time. This would give you enough time to checkmate with the spare king

Wait, this is not mate for white nor black, black could escape with pushing pawns to give the king an escape square

dude what

kd7 makes no sense to me but ok

they don't have to take with the knight (and they can't take with the knight). that doesn't matter though, because that is definitely not mate in 2.

first of all, not even considering a single check or checkmate on the white kings, the king can't physically move close enough to see the knight while it's taken by the rook in two moves. also, if you don't care about the queens, you could sacrifice them(for absolutely no reason) on b8(2 times even). So I don't think that is a mate in two for white, or even black if this is a trick question(unless checkmating one of the two white kings counts).

the best white can hope for is a draw by stalemate or repetition.

of course, this is just my thoughts on this puzzle, and I'm only 400 elo. So you can take this with a grain of slightly impure sodium chloride.
