Edit: I'd like to add if it doesn't work, it's because I invented it.
1) You should clarify which side to move and which side to win.
2) you should avoid double (or more) solutions. In this case, with black to move and win, both Ne2+ and Nf3+ do the job
3) most puzzles require a little more than a simple discovered check to create any challenge
Keep up the good works.

Originally posted by crazyfoxWhite cannot take in either case, because his king is in check discovered check by the bishop)! So, both Ne2+ and Nf3+ will do.
Ne2 2. Kh1 Dxh4 is not it. right? If you move Ne2 then white will take with Bf1e2. and if you move Nf3 white takes with BxNf3. i can't see mate in two with that.
edit. oops, too late.

Try this one: a traditional one, and if you have the right answer PM me, otherwise post the wrong answer here.
White to play: Mate in 2.
