Constantinople and Trepizond

WI Constantinople were recaptured by the Trepizonite Greeks instead of Nicea? This could be the result of an accident, since the city was poorly defended when it fell in 1261.
 
Trebizond was in no position to recapture Constantinople, even as an accident. The empire's borders were on the far side of Anatolia, and it was struggling even to maintain its tiny sliver of land against the Turks. Short of a Trebizond wank with an early POD I can't imagine any way for that to happen.
