Agree on the trap, but my point was really that trap or not, one of the checkers was going to succeed in getting past the prime. Yes it might have to clear a single straggler in the process, and true, there could be a few small numbers that double blot, but I considered that to be a minor detail. With the alternative of running home with one, until that checker is safely on the ace point, there are numerous chances of white recapturing the "escaped" second checker anyway.
