the first one is easy: 1.Qd1+!, if
2. Rxd1 then R(any of them)xc3#; if 2.Ka3 then Qa4#; if 2.Rc2 then Qxd3 winning a piece; if 2.Qc2 then Rxc2 and if 3.Rxd1 then R (any)xc3#
I forgot: the motiff of the fisrt puzzle is removing defender; the second one is trapping piece:
1..Bh3, 2.Qh1 (forced), Nf4 (threatning Bg2) and now if 3.gxf4 then Qg4+ with mate on the next move; if 3. Nh4 (to defend g2) then Bxh4 with the threat Bg2 that cannot be defended
Congratulations !
Perfect answers for each puzzle.
