Who wins in this position:....

 

 

 Edit: The pawn was on g7 in the original, but it is now moved to g6.

 

 

...and why is this position different from the position below:

tic-tac

The first position white immediately checkmates with p=Q. The second position White still wins but in a different manner. g7 and next move p=Q either wins the rook or checkmates.

Interesting!

I think that kind of puzzle is essential to improve. Thank you for bringing it.
