Re5 does it. King must take the rook. Then, Qd5# leaves black a rook up and a king down.

1.Re5+ Kxe5 2.Qd5#
But for a lightning, it’s too slow!
Re5+! Black’s King has no choice other than taking the Rook, followed by Qd5+ Mate..!
Since black has mate in 1, white better move fast: 1. Re5+! (deflect the king from the escape square g6) Kxe5 2. Qd5#
Hi Susan Polgar,
Well,every one posted till now had already given the best initial move “Re5+” – nothing to add further.
