white to move, mate in 2 (hard to solve)

I have found many mate in 3's and 4's... but 0 mate in 2s
#2 @lurarose you're not looking enough...

try all possible first move (brute force) you would find it eventually.
I found it easy to solve.
On the other hand the position is illegal.
White has 2 Queens, 3 Rooks, 3 Bishops, 3 Knights, so he has 4 pawns promoted. He still has 5 pawns, so at most 3 pawns could have promoted. So the position could not result from the starting position.
