If Black didn't take the bishop, as was commented at the end of the video, he is still just a pawn down for nothing. And not just any pawn either- to lose a pawn that helps control the centre for no compensation is devestating.
Believe it or not, I actually brought this trap off a few years ago in a club game, being aware of the Xie Jun - Galliamova game from Gary Lane's "Beating the French", so this clip brings back some amusing memories.
