Are you sure the black Rook must not be a black Bishop? In this case 1.Qf5 is the solution 1...Qe6 2.Nb5#
I have the solution in white post#4 Qf5 is the key
what happens after Rh5 pawn f4? no check mate with Qg4 and if white takes with the bishop row 4 is still blocked for a check mate
Knight takes pawn on b5 and the next move for white is Queen f5 mate.
i mean Qf4#
so knight takes b5 pawn; check, next move queen f4#
queen f5 does nothing. black takes the white knight with the queen.
1.Nxb5+, Ke4
2.Qf4#
mate in two

@ janhienn 1Nxb5 Qh3+ the key1.Qf5 Qxc3 2.Qd5# if 1....Nd3 or f3 2.e3# if1...Qf6 2.Nxb5 I have this in white on post#4
@sameez
1. Qf5 doesn't work - what's your response to 1. ...Qe6? If 2. Nxb5+ then 2. Rxb5
The answer is Rh5
Yes Rh5 gives mate on g4 and h8 depending on what black does I think
