I think it is worth mentioning, that at 3:46 black could not take pawn on h3, because their queen was getting trapped. So, if 18. ... Qxh3, then 19. Nef5 (blocking retreat of black Queen). Now the threat is to play Bf1 followed by f3. For example, if 19. ... g6, then 20. Bf1 Qg4 21.f3 wins a queen. A better way to defend for black would be 19. ... Bg6 (attacking the important knight on f5). Then white would continue 20. Bf1 Bxf5 21.Bxh3 Bxh3. Black lost their queen for 2 minor pieces. It is because of this tactical nuance black could not take the pawn on h3, and that is why move Qe6 was a mistake by black that allowed white to gain positional advantage. Hope this helps.
