Well, it may be obviously that black has a lost position when he losing the queen. The only way is to stop it with Kxe6, and hope white not find Qd5+ follow of g4+. The best is naturally accept the sacrifice of the queen, but who will play in a hopeless position, as sooner or later give 1-0.
Both ways is losing - Kxe6 faster.

Well, Reshevsky did put up a good fight after losing the queen, but it obviously wasn't enough

Right TheAlchemist - Fisher was the winner. (American mastership 1958/1959)

And this game (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1222027)lasted for 91 moves! A stubborn defense by black, white had much trouble breaking through, but eventually she did.

Now on traps, I think it's not wise to rely too much on them, especially if they're objectively bad (taht is, if the opponent plays correctly), but sometimes they're useful. I once won with the following:
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. Ndb5 d6 7. Nd5!? ( this is an unusual, but not bad, move that has a sneaky idea in mind, of course Nxe4 isn't possible, I once played that as black with this same opponent. Caissa sure is nice giving me an opportunity for revenge  ) 7... Nxd5 ( the correct move ) 8. exd5 Ne7 9. c4 ( with the "obvious" Qa4 as the idea ) 9... a6? ( 9... Ng6 is better ) 10. Qa4! Bd7?? ( here the awkward 10... Kd7 would have been better, or simply give up the exchange with axb5, now follows a smothered mate ) 11. Nxd6# 1-0
Now, granted it's not anything special, but it was somewhere in the middle of a long blitz tournament and it was nice to have a "free" round (I played everything practically a tempo)
