Thank you for the positions.

I don't see the win after Bxf4 gxf4. Therefore Bxf4 isn't better than other
moves.

Hossa doesn't solve this. My experimental code doesnt work at the moment for
positions where its weak side to move.

>[D]8/8/8/1k3p2/p1p1pPp1/PpPpP1Pp/1P1P3P/QNK2NRR w - - id WW; bm Kd1

Same as in the first position: I dont see a win here. Black simply doesnt take a
white piece.

>[D]3k2r1/5b2/2p5/rpPp1p1p/pP1PpPpP/P3P1P1/3K4/8 w - - id Draw; am bxa5

Same as in the 2nd position.

At least Hossa would play h6 here :-)
