Here are my lines:

Position 1: e3 pawn is overloaded. 1... Nxd4 wins a pawn. If 2.exd4 Rxe1 Rxe1 Rxe1 Qxe1 Qxf4+ g3 Qxd4 picks up a 2nd pawn

Position 2: The Q is low on squares to protect the R. 1... Nh7

a) Qd8? Qh4#

b) Qg3 h4 Qxh4 Qe5+ g3 Qxd6

c) f3 Qd4 Qg3 ( Nc2 Qg1+ Kh3 Nxg5) Qxe3 (Note: I messed this line up since Nf5+! wins)

Position 3: I couldn't find anything. I play bxc5 and aim for a draw.

Position 4: Ne5 (threatening Ng6+ Kg8 Rxg7#) Nh5 g4 Nd4 Rf7+ Kg8 gxh5 wins a piece (and Black has no counterplay due to Nxf5 Rxf5 Rd4 Ng6 Rd8 to prevent Rf8+ Kh7 Rh8#)
