Subject: Why did Karpov resigned in this position?

Author: Andrey Popov

Date: 06:29:13 04/22/05

This is the last position of the last game of Kasparov-Karpov match.
If Karpov (Black) reaches a draw, he wins the match.
Of course, White has a huge advantage.
However, I do not see any way to win.
5n1k/5Q2/4p1p1/2q1P2p/7P/6P1/5PK1/3B4 b - - 0 64
[D]5n1k/5Q2/4p1p1/2q1P2p/7P/6P1/5PK1/3B4 b - - 0 64
Why did Karpov resigned?
Can anybody see a series of White's moves leading to win after Qc5-b4?
Engines quickly go to score about +3.00 and stick on it forever.
