I solved them all, very interesting. However, I believe that in the second one, you can skip the second move since you're still gonna capture the queen

You do not understand the word "solve". When the puzzle engine says "solved" does not mean that you solved the puzzle. It only means that the guy who posted the puzzle thinks you solved it. And he is wrong as his "solution" was wrong from the start.

Also, trying moves until the computer accepts your answer is not "solving" - it is guessing. Only when you find all the right moves at the first attempt, you have solved the puzzle. Just as you can't retry moves in a game, you can't in a puzzle. That chess.com allows you to retry is to give you the opportunity to learn from it, but it should display "failed" after you finished!

Btw, in solving tournaments you can tryout moves on your own chessboard but you also need to provide the black countermoves. No help from chess.com.

Well, I don't know any more! The poster just changed the puzzle so it may be OK now. Have to check it. If I wronged you, sorry!

The puzzle is OK in a weird sort of way. White wins the queen but the position is equal so he won't win the game. And white can draw in several ways though the others won't win the queen.

Fork the White King to capture the Queen in 6 moves. Several check threats are needed to deflect the King into position to fork it.

Sac your light-square Bishop to capture the White Queen in 6 moves.

Capture the Black Queen in 5 moves.

In this position, White is threatening mate on the next move. Black is +3 in material. Find a way to trade-off both Queens to begin the endgame with a winning advantage.
