How to checkmate the black king with only one move

 It Very Funny Situation For Me.  Currently, My Rating is 1563 & My Opponent is Around 1500 And My Score Against Him Is Low (His 12 & I am 10)& Against My Second Opponent  His Rating Around 1900 My Score Is Very Good (His 0 & I am 5)

And My Question is With My 1st Opponent My Rating Is Higher Why I am Not Beating Him With A Fair Score And With My 2nd Opponent  My Score Very Good Why I am Stuck At 1563 And He Has Successfully Reached 1900 We All Are The Same Age.

It Will Be Helpful If Anyone Can Help Me Out!

Hi,

I am a total newbie to chess, please help me understand why Magnus Carlesn resigns the following game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZQmbRTtAUg

He can still try to take the black bishop, with the white queen, one square to the right, but he resigns.

If he will take the black bishop with the white queen it will end up, as much as i can see, with him being in disadvantage of 1 rook, in comparison to the black pieces, but is this the reason he resigns? 

I have a question. In this diagram why is Bxe4 the best move for black?
