The first one is solved with 1.Kb1 and the knight eventually mates on b2 or e3.Left my engines analysing the root position and all were happy with draw and took the bishop at some early point to create stale mate.Only after forcing 1.Kb1 that they could see mate in 7.Pocket Hiarcs 12.1 was fastest and only took few seconds after 1.Kb1

Keep looking, there is an eventual win for White!The key is to get the rook to the f file and afterwards reposition the Knight to d5 and take the pawn on e3 then get king to e2, from then on it is easy.Just don't take the bishop at any stage until the end.

After further looking all I can see is the draw Only in some lines does white win.Black does not have to take on c1 early and this line seems better for black,
1.Ra8 Bd6
2.Ra7 Bg3
3.Rf7 Bf2
4.Rxf2 exf2
5.Nf4 Kf1
6.Nd5 dxc1=Q+
7.Kxc1 g1=Q
8.Ne3+ =/=
