Yes, second is something very strange...
But others - interesting.

the first one Nxc3 loses to Qxa1

I intentionally made a bad move with black on the third one, at best white would probably only win a pawn or have a slightly better position with correct play from black.

 

Did i really put a knight on f6...wait I did i kill that one.

in the third one you could white could promote the pawn by killing the rook

nice! in the 3rd one i missed the mate - of course taking the rook and promoting probably wins, but ... ok i'll remember to consider PxP allowing NxQ next time i encounter something like this [patzers should be mated fast, not after a long routine game :) ]

[of course compared to a class-A expert, *i* am the patzer - I am borderline class B and C]
