Puzzles with an extra edge!

The first puzzle, it is Black to move, but if it would have been White's move, then he/she would have an easy checkmate in one move - Q to e or f 8#


The second puzzle we can learn a lot from:
> Black moves Rf5+,
> The King moves to g4
> Now, from here, black can move his Rook to d5, with a discovered check from the Bishop, White must move his King, while the Black Rook takes Whites Queen!


The above mentioned moves are the first moves (from Black and then White) to solve this puzzles.
Thus:
>>   ....... Rf5
>>  Kg4
>> Now the Black advances with his pawn, to put Black in check, with h5+.
>> ......... Kh3
>> Now, Black has one move to put White in Checkmate

I will give you a clue - The Rook and the Bishop behind him, will put white in double check!
Let me know if you get it - comment below.

I hope you enjoyed it!
