d5 is the most intuitive move here. At least it was for me. However it can be met with Qa1 which defends the g7-square.

i think they have this one wrong

I cant see how taking a couple of rooks is worth more than the checkmate.

d4-d5 (black cannot put white in check and cannot disrupt the queen or the rook)

black can block with e6 to e5 or move the king to f8 ... if black blocks then take the pawn and you back were you were if black moves the king then queen to G7 king only has e8 then queen to E7 mate

Am i missing something ?

2. d5 is not the best move.

As perdurabo said:
2. d5 Qa1
