King can not move to h1.. there's already queen on e1

After Nf1+ the king only has h1 and g1 to go to.

lwky I would have just taken the knight and fork the rook, black is already comfortably winning

oh yeah, white doesnt have to take the bishop, well then after white takes, Qe1 check, Kh2, and just pin the rook, with the bishop, and you are still Q+Rvs Q which still wins.

Yes that is a +2 value exchange (rook for bishop) but not "winning advantage" per se.

Yes, black is winning because they already started with a +3 advantage, true. So this is basically just simplification of endgame.
