Black had hung a pawn early on, and had just been trying to keep afloat for most of the game.  But in this position he finds a resource that very quickly turns the tables:

That's the problem with having all your pieces on one side of the board.

Good one. But it is little incorrect. Better was Bh3, because then white cant play g2-g3. While at Bf3 white can and must play g2-g3, after wich it is still hard job for black to finish white's king. :)

Nope.  1... Bh3 only wins the exchange, whereas 1... Bf3 mates (after 2 g3 Qh3).
