#2 has no solution - considering that the bishop on f5 is illegal if white plays top to bottom and the smothered mate fails if he plays bottom to top.
#3 has several solutions though not in 1 move.

That doesn't make any sense at all lol #2 absolutely works, at least with black to move, which it is. What do you mean by "if white plays top to bottom and the smothered mate fails if he plays bottom to top" I don't understand what you're talking about with all this top to bottom and bottom to top stuff
#3 only has one solution, Nd3#. And by the way, I checked all the positions with the engine. They are all correct.
Who is stopping me from doing Nd3# or Nf3#???
Nd3 is checkmate. Nf3 is not checkmate, and the engine says -M12 after that because Nxf3 is playable.
You mean that horse-queen one?
I don't know what you mean by horse-queen, but are you referring to the smothered mate pattern in #2? The solution is correct.
In #6, you annotated 5...a1=Q a blunder, however you did take note that it was forced, so it can't be a blunder. Also it can't be a puzzle because you could promote to any piece, not just a queen, and white would still checkmate.
No, I meant that discovered check to white one
😂 Can you use chess notation or an inserted diagram please? I don't know what position you're talking about.
