In Response To: Realgammon role (Casper van der Tak)

I'm sure there's no way I would have found 8/5 6/1* OTB but as I look at it now I think it is very attractive.

Even after Marty's explanation I don't understand why the "phantom double hit" is called that. Does it just mean that when your opponent has two checkers on the bar, he has fewer shots than one might superficially think?
