Btw. I actually could not solve your previous one Pooh :)

This one is quite nice, still very forcing, I think i have solved this one or one very similar to this one a long time ago:

1. Qxh7+ Kxh7
2. Nxf6++ Kh8
3. Ng6#

if 2. ... Kh6
3. Neg4+ Kg5
4. h4+ Kf4
5. g3+ Kf3
6. Be2+ Kg2
7. Rh2+ Kg1
8. O-O-O# :)

Last move is a nice touch, I assume king has not moves yet, otherwise Kd2#

You got it!

Black to move, find the best move.

1.. d3 threatens mate on h1.
2 Qxd3 Rxd3 is winning
otherwise
2. Bxd3 f3 threatens mate again.
longest defense would be something like But as usual I might have missed a defense.
3. Re3 Qh1
4. Rg1 Qxg1
5. Kxg1 Rg8
6. Kf1 Rg1+

one defense I missed first time
1... d3
2. f3 dxc2 and the threat is Qh1 followed by Re2 after a kingmove, or Qxg1 and Rg8 after Rg1

Correct, just a typo in the end, Rh1# instead of Rg1+.

Black to move and win.

1. ... Qxd5 (also defending f7)
2. cxd5 Re1+
3. Kg2 Bf1+

Correct.
