Good. What a beatiful sacrifice a rook. At the real chess board it's hard to think of.

Yes. I rare find beatiful combinations in the tournament, but online it happens often.
I loved the puzzle, it was great!
Very nice puzzles

@ebillgo It may not seem much, but the capture order matters. On the first puzzle, 2.
fxe5+ is the right move, not 2.exe5+. 2.exe5+ still leads to a forced mate, but in more moves after 2...
g7.
After 2.fxe5+ 
xe5 3.xe5, the position goes back to the position on the 3rd move you have posted in your solution and the mate in 9 is correct. Even if 3...g7, the mate in 9 stays true.
