Ok thanks.
But what if the Black King moves to e4? Is there a way to do mate in 2?

Yes. After Ke4 it's just Qg2++.
If black makes some other move white will move its rook to an appropriate space, (e3, b4, b5, b7 or f3 depending on what black does).

What if black D5-E6? Then, White is in check 
also, if white then B3-B6, black will take the white Bishop. If white B3-B7, Black will put the Bishop in the line of the Queen, so he gets out of check.

Rb7++. It protects white's bishop and blocks the diagonal of the black bishop.

Excellent work, Ecoris!
Ok, so I told you previously to pay attention to the flight squares and the discovered check. Intentionally, I wanted to distract you from the solution. Queen to a2. White can deliver 5 different mates
1) Let's say black tries to check the white king with d4-c4+. Then
white answers the discovered check with discovered mate!! He moves the rook to f3, stopping the check, and delivering one to the black king (note that the queen is already on a2.) this is mate. (the same thing hapens if king moves to d6, then rook to b7 mate.
2) White threatens b3-e3# after the queen move. If black doesn't defend (makes a random move, bishop to b7 for example, then Re3 is mate)
3) Black tries to remove the threat with pawn to d3, which is met by b3-b4 mate (controlling the flight squares, while checking with the queen) or black could try e4, which is demolished by Rook to b5#
Again, don't worry if it was too hard for you. I agree. There will be more difficult ones, but not much. This one was from among the 5 most difficult puzzles.

Thanks, but I got some help in from Doomforge: "If he goes Kc4, just do b3 f3". That was a giveaway. b3-f3 had to be the rook, the only way this could check the black king at c4 was if the queen had moved to a2 on the first move. From there it was just a matter of going through all the possible moves of black. But five different cases is very unusual.
Since you had said the mate was spectacular I had expected it involved a check on the white king, but I couldn't figure out how.

Good think,the king is blocked by the rook,and it can't escape,so the black knight moves to f2 and it's mate
I want to solve that puzzle but Asheera was faster then me...
I'm thinking how to move to make the white victorious here,but it seems impossible to make only in 2 turns

This is called the smothered mate, a mate with knight. Here the king has no flight squares, so a knight with its jumping ability can easily deliver mate.
And Razor. I'll post many puzzles and so does Doomforge (if things go well) so you can have fun solving don't worry
Next puzzle soon.

The next one has arrived. But I wouldn't like to you to tell me your solution yet. Let the others think about it. Not a difficult one, but needs some think. (this is your intoductory puzzle, Razor )
You may post whether you know the solution or not, but don't post the solution itself please.
White to move. As you can see, black has an annoying pin which distracts you from promoting. If you try to break it with a king move, black will begin checking, drawing the game by perpetual check with threefold repetition eventually. So, what would you play with white?
