Do you see all the variations?

After the first move, if Black moves either rook, White can checkmate with a queen on the very next move.

After the first move, if Black moves either pawn one or two squares, White can checkmate with a capture of the pawn with the ewp (en passant, in some cases) on the very next move.

After the first move, if Black moves his king, White can checkmate him with a queen thanks to the two pins and the bishop support!

Nicely built mate in two Zugzwang happy!

Very good! You found the variations. Now the tries. What after 1. e6?, 1.Be6? 1.Kd5?, 1.Kc5? 1. Qd5?

Note there is also "set play" (what black could do in the diagram if he were on move). Both black check optons are met by white checkmates but no longer after some of the tries! Not luck but carefully programmed!

Your puzzle does not work. After Kh6, black can play any other move and not get mated. Literally any move, except d6 and d5.
