Seems difficult, but easy it is

Somehow, on first sight, it seems to be difficult, but I found the solution after recognizing that the gap on f6 is the actual problem. Nice one!

Bishop sacrifice

Kept focusing on f6, but it took me awhile to figure it out. Nice exercise. Thanks!

It was almost 2 puzzles in one. First work out that f6 is the key, then figure the knights out. Not too hard but about right for me.
