Great Puzzle

For a mate-in-2 to be as difficult as it was just goes to show the genius of V.Sichev

Clever

White Queen would then move to d6
I had similar thought about other pieces but CM still achievable in 2.
Very clever.
Wondered what on earth the white king was doing up behind those black pawns though
