@VoteChess
What the heck? All of those options are terrible! Why wouldn't we try to move our queen out of harm's way?

computer-assisted analysis 

@hitstun Our queen is defended so we don't lose out if it's taken. The real issue we should be worried about in this position is Rh1, pinning the bishop to our rook - I took a look at it with an engine after the move was done and there was basically no digging ourselves out of that hole if we allowed it to happen

@PetraOleum Oh yeah, I see that now. A white Rh1 would have been a bad time for us, no matter where the queen was. Rescuing our bishop was probably our best bet.

The way this game ended with ||us resigining||, I probably would tried to capture stuff with our bishop instead.
