What is the best movement for white in this position?

I will use AI if necessary. I did Ke7, black answered with Bb3, and I obviously lost the game.

Couldn't Black have played bb1, tho?

Yeah, it's e6. After e6, I should be able to promote either the pawn from e or the pawn from f, but I made the stupid movement Ke7.

Black should have played b3 instead of Bxc2, but the players I play against are also around 1000 Elo and make these kind of mistakes.

e6 seems like a pretty likely drawn Q vs Q ending by perpetual check (and I think it even wins if black "blunders' with Bb1, since in that case, after both sides Q, I think the white K can hide on c7 and be screened from all the checks. I assume that the white Q+r can then find a tactic to pick up something...). If instead of Bb1, black plays b3, there will be no white R controlling the C file, so I assume white has nothing better than taking the perpetual check.

Ke7 seems to obviously loose to more than one black line; its just too slow.

After Ke7 and a few more movements, black had +11 material advantage, so I decided to resign.
