1st----------
Why not the simple 1...ixh6. Queen is lost, white has to resign.....

2nd----------
First of all this is not a legal Gothic Chess position (Meaning it can't be reached with valid play). But anyway here is my solution:

1.Ah3+ Kf7 {If 1...Kf6 then 2.Cf3+ with an unstoppable Mate in 6 (i checked every variation so i'm rather 100% sure)}
2.e4! with a Mate in 9 if i calculated correct(I didn't check everything, so a 70% possibility of corectness is my guess).
For example: 2...Cf6 3.Qj7+ Kg8 Aj5+ and the end is clear....
