    Resigning in a winning position actually happened to me a couple of times. Almost every single one of these times, the only move to save the game was an obscure sacrifice or silent move that I had no chance of spotting because I could not even understand it after it had been presented to me by the engine.

    My theory is either they missed Qh6 wasn't checkmate after Kh8 or maybe they thought after Kh8 Qg4 they are lost, which I actually can't exactly see myself how black stops it.

      After Qg4 (or Qf7), Black can win with Qxe5+, as Kh1 loses quickly to Qd5+ and anything else allows Black to exchange queens at least.

    1n 1933, Flohr resigned a game against Grob that was similar to this. Grob had a seemingly unstoppable mate... that could actually be stopped very simply, but Flohr's brain got paralyzed and he missed the defensive move.
    In the late '60s, the US was playing a team match against Austria. The first three boards had finished 1.5-1.5, leaving it up to the fourth and final board. Richard Verber was playing as White for the Americans. Material was even, but Verber's position was worse. The Austrian captured a minor piece, expecting Verber to recapture. Instead, Verber went after a Rook and won it, but in the process the Austrian captured a second minor piece, and Verber's knight was stranded. Verber found a clever way to free his knight, and the Austrian... resigned! He had forgotten about the initial capture that started the entire sequence. All his brain told him was that he had lost a rook, captured a minor piece, and then let Verber's knight escape. He was up two pieces for a rook, but thought he was the Exchange down!

    I'm looking at this and I'm wondering what options he has. Only H7 or H8. If H7 then you check him on F7 with the queen and its game over. His only good move is H8 in which case you move the queen G4. ... so his options might be Q-F2+ which you block with R-G2 or QxP(h3)+ followed by QxQ+, RxQ+ KxR and you end up with a rook vs Bishop endgame which you should be better. OR... QxP(e5)+ and you move k to H1 ...now what does he do? I think youve got him here.
