Chess in Jakarta, Indonesia

When I lived in Bali (part of Indonesia) in 2012, I used to play chess with people on the street. But they all played very poorly and I almost always beat them. But it was fun anyway!

Update: Both puzzles from the street are actually both Mates in 3 - can you find the solutions?

I know that guy. Met him in a recent fide rated tournament in the same city like 2-3 weeks ago. Gave me great advice on how to approach positions, tactical puzzles etc. Met him again in a chess festival like a week after that fide rated tournament. Great dude
