White loses whatever he plays.

Why was that

2nd puzzle: Pawn protector

Objective: White to move. Check black king and protect your pawns, so you can promote more pieces and checkmate.
Edit: You don't need to find all the way to checkmate, just keep all 4 pawns promoted.

Your first puzzle is nice and its mate in two for White is valid, but you didn't specify which side it is to play which is a vital information. You could spell the objective as «White to play and mate in two» or something like that.

I think he means Black has a lot of moves to keep his avantage. If it was Black's turn to play, there would be many good moves for Black after which White would be losing.

First puzzle: 1.f6+ h8 2.xh7#

When I commented the first time there was no mate in 2. Appears something was changed but I don't know what! When I think of it, looks like Rg3 was added. Note that white now also wins easily by playing 1. QxQ NxQ 2. Nh6+ Kh8 3. Bxg7#. That option was certainly not in the original.

My style, i never show the objetive of that first post by me. Only you guess the route.

3rd puzzle: Scary Last Rank

Objective: Block White's only escape so you can easily checkmate at last rank. In this case, White don't see the danger and play 2.h6.

You must be a friend of Mickdonedee who also has these weird objectives with all kinds of conditions set. Unfortunately these conditions are always multi-interpretable and therefore mean nothing. There are two starting moves that mate in 9 and one in 10 moves.

4th Puzzle: It's me, Zugzwang!

Objective: White turn and mate in 4, using a crazy attack - Zugzwang. Try force Black to make their state terrible with Zugzwang temp-move and Pieces blocking.

2nd Puzzle is White to move, and 3rd Puzzle is Black to move

Ugh I'll solve it
1.b8=+ c6 2.d8= e2 c8 = #

5th puzzle: Lusena is here!

White to play. Use the Lusena Mate to crush Black's King all the way to the corner of the board.
