1. Kxe1 Bc3+ 2. Rd2#

1. Kxe1 Qd2+ 2. Rxd2#

You missed 2...Bb2 in both lines. Sorry, thanks for playing, better luck next time! 😀

Is it mate for white? If so, a white king move leads to mate in 2!

Kxe1 leads to mate any way you look at it! Kxe1 Qd2+ Rxd2++
Another one is Kxe1 Bxb2 Qc2++
Another one is Kxe1 Rxd3 Qc2++
