It is very strange.Tactic wins just a P with a temporary threat. Thereafter it is positional play. 1….. Bh3 This B is taboo since 2.gxh3 Rh2+ 3.Kxh3 nf3+ wins Q for white.Only one can surmise is that black has commanding position and white will go down the hill gradually.I do not find any dramatic win for black also. Possibly I may be missing something.
this one is a toughie!

I guess white is loosing here, but there is no really “krushing” combination though.
The one there is, best move for black sealing the win, is a move gaining a pawn!
1. … Bxh3!
Of course this pawn loss means a super weak white king position, since white can’t take back!
Here is no quick mate though.
White can’t take back because of:
2. gxh3? Rh2+!
3. Kxh3 Nf3+
gaining white Q for R+B
But gxh3? was exactly what Krush played, and then resigned after Rh2+.

I might be missing a better move somewhere, but black can play Bxh3 because of a latent knight fork on the unprotected queen in a key line:
1. ……Bh3
2. gh3?? Rh2!
3. Kh2 Nf3
4. Kg3 Ng5 and black’s edge is decisive.
At move 2 in this line, white must refuse the bishop. I would play 2.Qf4 if it were me, but black has won another pawn and has a nearly decisive edge.

Excuse me. It was Fedorchuk who answered 1. … Bxh3! with 2. gxh3? and was “krushed”.
Without this mistake, Krush should have won anyway, but only with a slow plan gradually increasing the relatively small edge.
1…Bxh3! 2.gxh3 Rh2+!! 3.Kxh2 Nf3+ wins the White Queen
1…Bxh3! 2.gxh3 Rh2+!! 3.Kg1 Nf3 mate!
Bh3
… Bxh3
gxh3 Nf3
… Bxh3
gxh3 Nf3
1…B:h3 wins a pawn and removes cover from the white K, since if 2. gh Rh2+ 3. K:h2 (3. Kg1 Nf3 is mate) Nf3+ wins the Q + P for R + B.
