A few questions for some one-sided games.

I played these two games about an hour ago while waiting in queue for KFC.

 

I maneuvered the black pieces in both game. Both were somewhat comfortable wins so I haven't run any engine analysis prior writing this thread. But I do believe there were a few questions that could contribute to bettering my(and other players of similar rating) skills.

 

The main theme in game 1 was giving away pawn(s) for an initiative. Game 2 was about keeping the bishops I guess.

 

So the question is, was there any counterplay that White had? And in Game 1, was it a losing or a winning position for Black?

Correction.

Game 1

20. ... Bg3+

 

Horrible blunder, gives away a bishop.

First Game: 8.Qg4+ forces c2c3 or Qd2, both allowing Qxb2. Don't know how that plays out.

Sorry, but after 15. Qd4 in the first game you're just down two pawns. Not exactly one-sided and if it was, it would be one-sided in your opponent's favor.

As played through 20: If 21.Rxg3, R and Q now focused on g2 so 21. ...g2g3 is one of black's only moves. Beyond this there are several possibilities but White can trade evenly being up a Bishop.
