In the game below, black resigned after the move Bb4.

I have another game against them, and in that they said they made a big positional mistake. I can perhaps see some prospects in attacking the square in front of the black King, but nothing clear cut. Any thoughts? Am I missing some blindingly obvious tactic?

Cheers.

White can force a knight trade for the bishop, but white would not necessarily be better. I think the player of black overestimated the power of having a bishop as opposed to a knight.
