These are two of the greatest puzzles I've ever seen. In both situaions, White to play and win.

He's hoping you will think it's still stalemate. There's no other hope, you are going to get checkmated in 1 with Kd7 or Ke7 otherwise.

2nd one doesn't make sense, black queen could've taken white queen and be in a winning position
