This is not an exact science and will not always work but is a way to end a game in a quick fashion. This Instructable implies that you already know how to play chess or at least no how to move each individual piece as it is supposed to operate. It will involve your queen, bishop and moving a single pawn out of the way. I would also not suggest this against particularly skilled players because they will most definitely see the move coming and it will put your queen at risk.

Because many chess pieces and boards differ from each other I will show my pieces so as to ease some possible confusion on which piece is which.

First is to move one's knight to H6.
Second is to move forward the pawn under attack.
Third is to block the bishop with any piece.
To get a cm in two moves first you have to be the second to go you cannot go first.
Second he has to move his pieces in a totally unnatural way. But here it is for sake of argument and to prove you are right.
His first move has to move either the kings bishop pawn (kbp) one move forward (he could also move it two spaces it doent matter he just has to move it out of the way) or his kings knight pawn (kkp) two moves forward (this one has to be moved the two spaces).
Lets say he moves his kbp one forward. Then your first move would be to move your kings pawn out of the way of the queen. So either two or one doesn't matter.
Then they move their other pawn in this case it would be the kkp forward two.
Now just move your queen diagonal to the edge of the board and check mate in two moves.
The pawns are out of the way and cannot block. The bishop can only move to the one open space whink id kings knight two were the original kkp was which doesn't block or capture. The knight can only move to one open space (unless he moved the kbp two forward in the first move then the knight could also go to the kb3 position but still wouldn't block or capture) and the knight would be one forward of the queen in the kings castle 3 position and cannot block or capture the queen. The remaining pawn can only move forward one and it wont help any. The castle is blocked in, and the king cannot move. Check and mate.
So you were on the right track but like I said it is so rare it is almost impossible to get. Although I have used this move in a game one time it was not within the first two moves. It ended up later in the game and I believe it was my pieces not their pawns doing the blocking for me.
This move is very hard to force where the four move check mate is easier to force, although very easy to counter just by moving your kings night in out in front of the castle pawn.
As stated earlier it is well known and easily counter-able, however whenever I am teaching anyone chess I teach them both moves so they can easily notice and counter them. Matter of fact the 4 move one is one of the moves I use to teach check mate, and rather affectively. They are so simplistic that anyone learning chess can understand and see what checkmate means.
So yes, it is possible in two moves but very unlikely.
Even if you try to attack on the other side (moving E2 and hoping the opponent moves F7), but even this can be stopped moving G7.
F7 to F6
G7 to G5
G8 to F6
F8 to E7
E8 to E7
I dont even play chess. Do you?
I haven't played chess in so long lol. I did play chess a month or 2 back, after about a few years of not playing. Surprisingly, I still won.
