This one comes with a question - Should I post the players, year and location of the games also? All of these puzzles are from games.

1.Nh5![threat 2.Qg7#]
1...gxh5 [moving the N allows Qh7#]
2.Ne6! [with threats of Qg7# and Rg5#]
2...fxe6 3.Rg5+ Kf7 4.Qg6#

Yep, that is the solution.

What is protecting the Queen from being taken here?

You mean Nxh7? Anyway, BigDoggProblem got the exact solution here on this one.

1. Rxd5 Qxd5
2. Ne7#
or
1. ... exd5
2. Bg7 Nxg7
3. Qxg7#

I know there are other varients but I'm in a little bit of a rush this morning, so I can't post all the others.

Why not try 1.Ne7+ Qxe7 2.Qxh7+ Kxh7 3. Rh5+ Kg8 4.Rh8# ?

This is correct. After Rxd5 black is not forced to play Qxd5, he can also do exd.

Nf5+, Kh5, Bd1 wins due to the threat of Kg3# and clearly RxR is met by fxg8=Q renewing the threat.

Qf8+, Kxf8
Rxf7+, Ke8 (Kg8, Rf8# )
Rf8+, Kd/e7
R2f7#
