    OK here's a new one, just composed.

    Both players play perfect,
    1) white to move who wins? and how?
    2) Black to move who wins? and how?

    agreed. Black can easily draw with Qa4, for instance with perpetual check between d1 and a4.

    LOL, I mixed two variations. How about 1. ... Rf1+ 2.Bxf1 Re1+ 3.Nxe1 Qa1+ 4.Kxa1 stalemate....
