[b]Well, not a whole piece. White can get two pawns for it. If I had fallen into that trap against a weaker player, I wouldn't resign just yet.
Capablanca vs. Tarrasch, St. Petersburg 1914, in which Capa was a piece down by move 15, but it took Tarrasch 83 moves to force a decision.

Hi Moonbus.
I can see all kinds of ther ideas for White to make it harder for Black.
That is why the trap needs testing.
I'm not all that interested in Capa and Tarrasch, more interested in
Mr Clumsy v Tommy Tactics.
From the stem idea there are on record loads of Black wins.
for example Game 6990489 and Game 8083872
For all we know a few lads have tried it at blitz and lost and don't want
it mentioned on the blog. 🙂

Thanks for the links to the other games; I played thru them. It appears that White must get more than the center pawn if he is to generate initiative.
