White queen moves two squares along the diagonal: check. Black king takes queen. 2. White knight checks king: (double) check. Balck king retreats to its original position 3. White knight moves again to what I suppose is h6: mate. The first one isn’t too bad either.

I've forgotten the notation, so please accept longhand: 1. White queen moves to the end of the column: check. Black is obliged to block with bishop. 2. White queen moves back two squares: check. Black bishop takes queen. 3. White bishop takes black bishop: mate. The second one seems simple enough. I’ve forgotten the notation, so please accept longhand:

I can't find a definite solution to either- Nf5 looks the best bet on the first one except that f6 looks a solid defence... as for the second... beats my pair of jacks. g4 seems essential to prevent black from mating on the first rank.
