^ Qc5+ ?

^^Nope. A d5 denies you a checkmate in 2 moves.

^^ What if I advance pawn to b8

 

[alexanderthegreat]

^^A d6 for ya'! That prevents a mate in 2.

Lots of mate in 3 moves... im yet to find a mate in 2. Since you said it surprised you, it should be a uncommon move at this position...

No solutions?Very well, here's the solution:-
1. Bc2
a> dxe6 , Kd5/d6
2. Qc5#
b> d6, c5
2. Rf5#
c> d5
2. Qc7#
d> Nd4/xf4/xg3/c1/g1
2. Qxd4#/Qd4#
