White just played h4.
How can black apply game winning pressure on white's pieces?

tricky this one spent a day studying it

all i can see is playing Qe6 opens the bishop's diagonal up from g7 attacking whites queenside pawn structure behind which the king hides

dont think there is anyother route of attack and/or pressure application

The white King actualy sits in a cheap carton box with a cute lid, if you can find it.

b3 is the portal for a serious mate threath.
And white doesn't have the tempo to secure this portal, except by starting to throw unprotected pieces in the fray.

instead of playing h2-h4, Rb1 would have been enough to bar that entrance in time.
