Fun. Here's my attempt for both puzzles, not counting resignation on the first move.
1g Ha1 Db1 Cc1 Rd1 Re1 Rf1 Rg1 Mh1 Ha2 Db2 Cc2 Rd2 Re2 Rf2 Rg2 Eh2
1s ha7 db7 cc7 ed7 re7 rf7 rg7 rh7 ha8 db8 cc8 md8 re8 rf8 rg8 rh8
2g Rg2n Rg3n Rg1n Rg2n
2s rh7s rh6s rh5s rh4s
3g Eh2w rh3s Mh1w rh2s
Edit: Actually, I guess this one is a step shorter, if you are counting steps, but involves some piece sacrificing.
