  1. I found the first one straight forward (to solve) but very nice at the same time: 1. g7+ Kxe8 2. gxh8=Q Kf8 (with the threat to capture the queen by Bh6-Bg7) 3. e6! d6 4. d5 c5 5. c4 b4 (so far it was obvious without moving the pieces. Then I need to set them up to realize: Firstly white can NOT win and secondly the Queen can sell it's life dearly) 6.Ka2 Bh6 7. b3 Bg7 (else the white queen does escape and wins) 8. Qxh7 Bxh7 pat.

    I made many mistakes solving the next one, which is why it took so long. 1. Bb3 Ke1 2. Bb4 Nc3! 3. Bxc3 Kf1 4. Bc4 (it took me a long time to find this move as you can't see it until you consider the first under promotion - but that one was the EASY part with hindsight) Bxc4 5. Qc5 Bd3! 6. Qb5 (this move and the next are almost obvious once you notice white's Bc4) Bxb5 7. b8 = N (I had actually suspect this under-promotion before even thinking of Bc4, but I got really stuck here. In fact, this is where it becomes very beautiful, black can now force 2 additional under-promotions! That's the problem I had solving it for, I think, almost a week) Bd3! (else it is easy, Be2 f8=R wins quickly and Bc4 a8=Q also wins) 8. a8=B! Be2 9. f8=R game over! A brilliant tour de force. Very appreciated.
