Things look about even and Black has some defence? By the way, this game is famous for the very strong White knight on d5.

Black resigned because if 30...Qxh5 31.Nf6+ wins the Queen, and if Black keeps his Queen on the g file (the only option), then White's Qh1 and Rg1 is going to mate or win material or both.

Yes. ... Qg6/7 to stop the mate has the price of queen for rook.
