In the two games quoted from the database, in one black refused to take the pawn, which proves nothing. In the other (quoted below), black took the pawn but then played weakly to lose in two moves (13...Qb7? How about 13...Qc6), which also proves nothing. Is there another game where black took the pawn and lost ?
