1.Qxd7+ Rxd7 2.Rc8+ Rd8 3.Bb5# ehh not really magnus carlsen level, i'm just 1400
Mate in three. If you find it you're magnus carlsen.
Sort:
1.Nb5+ Ka8 2.Qa7+ Bxa7 3.Nc7+ Kb8 4.Nxa6+ KNa6 9.Rxa6# Checkmate. It took some time. Third attempt. And solved. I counted the variants incorrectly twice, I wanted to solve it too quickly. It's difficult. But in the end it worked. Nice puzzle. (Sorry for the English language, this is the translator.)

The second one is too easy
Ok, I'll step it up a little bit. White to move and mate in 8, and DON'T post the solution, as it is already in the pgn file and others might want to try it out, but I doubt very seriously you'll find the solution without an engine or lots of hints.

bro that was easy
Sure, after you hit the solution button. 
1. Bf2
2. Rb6
3. ba4
4. Be3
5. Rg5+
6. bxc6
7. rxc6
8. rh6#
And what's supposed to be difficult about this puzzle? The most important move is White Bf2, the rest, no matter what Black plays, it loses in a few moves. And checkmate for Black.

The thing that makes it hard is that it is a mate in 8 rather than a white to play and win. It's a directmate problem where you must find the mate in the specified number of moves against ANY defense, otherwise it's not considered solved.

You are 100% right. But if you sit down calmly and count the variants, it will take some time, and you will get to the heart of the puzzle.
