Ok, I've now tried all moves I found rational. If anyone has the solution please give me a comment

Idk the official way to write it, but the knight on f4 can go to g6 and give a check. Only legal move I think is pawn on f7 takes on g6. Then white moves their king to f4, discovered check. I guess the knight can block but it's still mate just in 3 instead of 2 :/

That is not mate in two though, in three is easy, in two is either impossible or uses chessai bugs in some form. It clearly makes moves that only makes sense if its trying to avoid mate in 2 instead of winning

g7 Knight can also take the rook on e8

Yeah, I can't solve this one by using the rook to take e8, the king cannot move to f6 as a result either
