Consider the following:
[FEN "r3q1k1/p2p1p1p/b1p2QpB/8/8/2r5/P4PPP/R5K1 b - - 0 1"]
Why is black's next move Qf8? White just follows with Bf8.

There is no good way to stop Qg7 mate. Black has to give up their queen.

For this reason, one might argue that "resigns" is the best move for Black in the given position! Mar 27, 2016 at 21:25

Black's move is forced to stop mate at g7. He has no other alternative. The c3 rook will also fall if the bishop is then recaptured, so the game is hopeless for Black.
