Can someone please explain to me the reason for the resignation?

Game 14846965

Final position


After Rd1 Black has Qf2. Hitting the e3 Rook and mate with Qc2. Looks grim.

even though there isn't an immediate checkmate, the Black player has all the space. White's K & Q are all locked down, giving him a completely lost position.

Just one line to show the mess white is in.

Here's what might happen if White defends differently after ...Qxe4 in greenpawn34's line.


In the position where White resigned, I don't see a good defense to Black's plan of capturing the a-pawn and bringing a major piece to a1.
