Holiday puzzles II

I've got two very different puzzles:

Checkmate in one move for white - quick and easy.


Then a very interesting one:
White has a Queen, 2 x Rooks, 2 x Bishops, a Knight and 2 more Pawns while Black has a Rook, 2 x Bishops and 2 x Knights.

Black to move and checkmate in two moves:

Remember, the first move that black makes, must put white in check, the king moves away, then black puts white in checkmate with his 'second' move.

If you are struggling, I have included a hint in the file name.  Hover your mouse over the puzzle and you will see the file name at the bottom on the screen right hand side.

I would appreciate any comments to this puzzle.

Enjoy!

:-)
