opening trap?

I just played this game on my instant chess mobile app, but chess.com has a better mobile app, this is just for instant unrated games (limit 3 per day before subscription). The chess.com mobile app allows unlimited free access and choices for different time control games. 

ANYWAY here's the trap. White resigned. 

that position is already looking congested for white.. with e4 coming soon from black, and white's central pawn being pinned regardless. I thought Qd2 would cover for a second, but actually that wouldn't. Even Knight c6 from black too. White can't protect the central pawn with the bishop while covering b2 from a queen attack.

There's no chance for white to even castle queen or king side, the game is completely over. There is no way of defending the central pawn meaning the bishop will cover the king side diagonal castle, and white can't activate its pieces to castle queen side without the queen taking b2.

Best chance for white?
