Sometimes even GMs have to resign in move 6... (otb, classical time)

GM clash at the 17th Dehli Open. Can you spot the innocuous-looking move which leads to immediate disaster? Indeed White resigned one move later?

Shot in the dark, but was the resignation the disaster? Computer analysis shows it was relatively even.
Can you spot the innocuous-looking losing move? White has the move, moves and resigns one move later.

10 plies, after the 11th it‘s virtually 0-1

Use your fantasy, it is important to have tons of it!

(of course nothing like 6.Bh6)
He probably lost after 6 c4? dxc4.
It is a recuring theme if white plays Bg5 and e3 then the diagonal a5-e1 is weak.
@finlip White was Ziaur Rahman and he played against Diptayan Gosh. Happened in the Delhi Open this year.
I have seen both these players. In fact, I have played in the same tournament as both of them. Thanks for the info.
