"All normal prime vs primes are takes" and this one looks "normal" enough.

Can blue shake an ace before white shakes an ace and a six? Seems like the smart way to bet. But blue still needs a six to leap the blockade if he hits now, and white has a chance to pick up the checker on the ace if hit.

The overriding feature seems to be that white's board will collapse if she doesn't spring her runner while blue can sit on the bar for a while and hold the prime.

The volatility alone should make this a cube, and it seems like any re-whip will be a cash, so ship it. I'm less certain about the take than I was when I started writing, but I'll stick with take, but without much confidence.

R/T.
