Qe2 is a good move but I certainly would not resign immediately.  There is still
a lot of chess to be played.  My guess is that in a 10 minute game you were
looking less than 16 ply ahead and could not possibly compute all the
combinations to the actual win (ready to play perfect chess from then on).  Am I
wrong?  Is there a mate in 25 I'm missing?
