A bit disturbing that white has promotion choice. Better: place bPf7 on g6.
How can I do that?
You can edit the diagram. Worth spending some time on if you don't know how to edit. No time to explain. With an open space on f7, only 1 promotion works.
Just do as instructed. The position is already illegal so you don't even need to remove the queen on g6 to make room.
being pretty new to puzzles im happy i got that first try tbh it was very easy.
Black easily wins by promoting on g1 and playing a knight or queen to f3!
Standard chess positions without white king are illegal and ridiculous. Why not place it on a suitable square?
That's a good example. Most of the time you can place the king on a square where it participates in the solution and that is the preferred way!
I still can't figure out the first one

The solution is Nxc4#. The pawn cannot take the knight, as it is absolutely pinned to the king by the rook, while the queen and other knight cover the flight squares.
