In the 6th puzzle, if Bxf7+ and Kxf7, Qd5+ wins pawn and a piece = 4 points ;) If Bxf7+ and black king goes to f8 or d7, you can still play Qd5 and win one of the two pieces!
@nicocola1 No. That doesnt work if the black king goes to f8 or d7. Suppose Kf8. Then Qd5 is not a check, so black has Bxf2+. After Kf1 and Bb6, white plays QxN and black plays KxB. This leads to equal material for both sides.

Terrific vid! Thanks! I think queen forks are the hardest to learn, but most rewarding
