That is a real beauty. I think that apple127 missed the beaty of this puzzle by adding all those extra pieces and thus missing the points. In the position that you posted if it had been black's turn he would have two possible moves, either advancing his pawn or moving his bishop to h2. After white's first move 1.Qb2! black has even one possibility more, he can now also play Kh2. But no matter what he does he gets checkmated, either by 2.Qg2#, 2.Qh8#, 2.Nxf2# or 2.Ng3# all depending on which move black did.
Any other first move but Qb2! won't make it a mate in two. A very nice problem.
Yes, in apple127's rendition (assuming you remove all the pawns and pieces not supposed to be there), his rook is not blocking the possibility of 1. Qg8 Bg2 2. Kxf2#, which is a much simplier solution.
What about Qb2 f1=N? I'm probably not seeing something obvious though.
what do you mean? missed the point? I acadently posted it wrong! the position candy man posted was correct. hey blue Knight Shade, king h2 is met with Qh8#. Ha see, your so wrong.

Wrong about what?
1.-,Kh2 2.Qh8# was certainly included in what I wrote. This is what I wrote: But no matter what he does he gets checkmated, either by 2.Qg2#, 2.Qh8#, 2.Nxf2# or 2.Ng3# all depending on which move black did.
I didn't type the complete sequence of moves but as you can see 2.Qh8# is one of the possible variations that is included.
Regarding your remark: I acadently posted it wrong!
That means you did it by mistake, don't you me you did it deliberately? What is the idea by posting it?

1. Qb2 f1=N 2. Qg2#
Seems as if some persons would need to see the complete variations typed. Here they are:
After white's first move: 1. Qb2
A) If black promotes the pawn:
1.-, f1=Q 2. Ng3#
1.-, f1=R 2. Ng3# or 2. Qg2#
1.-, f1=N 2. Qg2#
1.-, f1=B 2. Ng3#
B) If black moves the bishop:
1.-, Bh2 2. Nxf2#
C) If black moves the king:
1.-, Kh2 2. Qh8#

I'd love to see the PGN of that game, to learn how i can get my king and queen without even moving pawns 
and destroying almost all black pieces with just 5 pieces
and destroying almost all black pieces with just 5 pieces
What about Qb1? Still a mate in two with even less posibilities from black
correct me if im mistaken but black has no more moves than moving his king up or his pawn up and then its checkmate with Qxg1#

How would white be able to play Qxg1 if black has moved his pawn up to f1?

His first position was illegal anyway. Black's king could not have possibly gotten to the back rank w/o one of white's pawns' moving.
that mate is impossible benws
