This game Game 2529044 just finished with my opponent resigning, after spending an hour or so looking at it i can only come to the conclusion that they missed something and thought their position was worse than it was.

White to play



Black has just played Bc5

What do you think?

My thoughts for white:

Bad
10. Bxc4 loses to 10...Qb4+ 11..any..Qxc4 losing the bishop
10. e5 loses to 10...Bxd4
(11. all exchange combinations lose material for white)

Good
10. Be2 losing only a pawn to 10...Nxe4
10. Bxc5 Qxc5 11. Be2 Nxe4 white avoids the mate threat with 12. Qd4 aiming for a queen swap. White would be down a pawn but the threat would be largely neutralised

Any additions?

maybe he just didnt want to play anymore or maybe he didnt have time for that game, there is possibly a lot of explanations

Bxf6 could be a possibility and it doesn't lose material.
