"fcas80" is correct. The sequence given is in English Descriptive notation. If you are more familiar with Algebraic notation, here are the same moves as above.
1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4++

There are slight variations to the above sequence which will achieve the same result. White can optionally play f4 instead of f3 and Black can optionally play e6 instead of e5. Also, White can play the moves in either order. Here is a list of all 8 sequences that lead to checkmate in 2 moves.
1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4++
1. f3 e6 2. g4 Qh4++
1. f4 e5 2. g4 Qh4++
1. f4 e6 2. g4 Qh4++
1. g4 e5 2. f3 Qh4++
1. g4 e6 2. f3 Qh4++
1. g4 e5 2. f4 Qh4++
1. g4 e6 2. f4 Qh4++

Black can win in two if white intentionally makes poor moves:

1. P-KB3 P-K4
2. P-KN4 Q-R4 mate
