    The bad position of the King is a very important thing in these puzzles.

    Nobody posts solution for #296 so i will post what i think it can be:

    First white play 1.Kc2 and if black doesn't play 1...h5 the solution is like Nswwsn and Caielo showed in #299 and #300 .

    If black play 1...h5 then solution follows Mrguy888's line in #297 :
