It is highly unlikely that a player would not play 2. gxf3 after 1... Nf3+
Black's move 1...Nf3+ wastes a knight.
Also, in your following proposed sequence, White's move 3. Kh1 is also unnecessary.
If you would've liked the black night on g5 to check on f3, just move the white pawn on g2 on g3.
Thank you (: And have a good day there
you're wrong, Nf3! is completly crushing and the mating sequence after gxf3 is forced.

Epicmat, your tactic skills are awful, you should definitely improve them, ideally before discussing and posting puzzles. in the mid time, check your puzzles and the ones of others with the help of an engine (eg; on chess.com via board analysis), playing the move you thought were best and have them refuted.

Of course it's easy. The solution was given to you.
Quite a tricky problem.
Roman Toran Alberto vs Mikhail Tal 1961 (black to move and get a winning endgame)

White move. Find once move that can win or draw position.

#2251 good move but better, I think is Bxd5. I'd find it move in game and win.
After that if Rxe1 then Bxf7+ and Qxd6 and easy win.

Well actually:
(Just giving a few paths above. Rxe6 is the best move, but white is only up by +1 ish)

I don't know how you would win from that position???
Maybe draw:
You only take 1 pawn. You are still one pawn down.
Also I believe Bxh7+ Kxh7 loses?
What attack is there? Qh5+ Kg7. Black is safe and a piece and a pawn up.
Find a forced mate (in 6). Sorry if I didn't include all possible lines in the analysis.

- if your opponent has time trouble, for example.

- Yes, you are right, but out of courtesy I answered otherwise. Maybe it's wrong, I don't know.

- In this positoin 1. Bxd5 Bxh3+ 2. Kxh3 Qd7+ 3. Kg2 Rxe1 4. Bxf7+ Qxf75. Qxe1 or in other white can chanses for draw. But if first move isn't Bxd5 white loses.
A tricky one-move endgame puzzle. Black to move and draw
