I think that's it.
I thought that, but what about 2. Nh5 Rh4 3. Ng3?

Look for a stylish move that leaves the opponent with no choice (zz).

Congrats kbaumen! You are a born solver!
Re5! is definitely the best move. White gains a pawn in exchange for a piece.

Yeah, a born solver. It just took me an hour and coming up with a false solution. Anyway, nice puzzle. Got some more?

Here Black played Ka6. How could White have drawn?
Also, after Rd3 from the position, can White save himself?

Sorry- first time.
I think I know the second, at least:
1. Rxb4 Rxc3
2. Rxb8
I think Ra1+ and Rb5+ are unstoppable...
Please tell me if I'm wrong!

Impressive, Earthworm. But the easier one has not yet been solved...
You were spot on by the way. Welcome.
