No way man, they're just really, really good at using AI.  Y'all are just jealous that you don't know how to use AI as well as they do.

White rook moves to c7 then black rook moves out. White bishop captures pawn, putting king in check, but king can now move to b8 safely. I don't see mate in 2.

gotta be 2 moves after the first move

White rook moves to c7 then black rook moves out. White rook captures pawn, other white rook captures other pawn at 7a
checkmate

I don't know why you're disagreeing with me. The white move that ensures it's a mate in 2 is white rook a6->c6. I've explained why. 

Admittedly, I never would have seen it if CD hadn't posted it as a puzzle already stating there was a solution to mate in 2. If I'd been playing the game live I would simply have taken the black rook at b7 with my white rook, the king would have captured that rook, and then I'd move the white rook at a6 out to somewhere like f6 and whittled black down into a mate the long slow way since I had a significant advantage given that I'd be still holding rook and bishop and he had no major pieces left.

It's that dastardly egg lobby! 

Using their space-based weather control machines to divert a snowstorm to Texas in order to spur on egg sales and shortages...

Have they no limits?

No. If black rook B8->C8 capturing white rook... White rook C6->C8 capturing black rook. Checkmate.

If the white rook moves a6->c6, black has only four legal moves. Ever single one leads to immediate checkmate.

  • Black rook b8->c8 capturing white rook. Already showed how this leads to checkmate in 1.
  • Advance pawn a7->a6. White rook c6->a6 capturing black pawn, check. Black king cannot move and black pawn at b7 is pinned by bishop and cannot capture rook. Checkmate.
  • Advance pawn b7->b6 putting white king into check. White rook c6->b6 capturing black pawn, black king is now in check from white bishop. King cannot move and black rook is pinned by white rook at c8 and cannot block. Checkmate.
  • Black pawn b7-c6, capture white rook. White bishop e4->c6, captures pawn. Puts black king into check. King cannot move and black rook at b8 is still pinned by white rook and cannot block. Checkmate.
You're right. I have no idea what I was seeing earlier, but you are correct. 

It's been a long time since I played a game of chess. We're talking probably about 30 years.

White to move, mate in 2.
One additional thing I just caught... CD, you have presented us with an impossible problem.

Not that we can't come up with a mating solution with white to move, but that it's impossible for the board to reach this configuration and it be white's turn to move. That would imply that black had made the previous move, and somehow moved themself into this position. With a little analysis, it's obviously not possible to have happened...
