In Response To: Game of the week Pos. #4 (Stick)

I am thinking that this might be an instance of what Marty Storer calls the Phantom Double Hit in his Backgammon Praxis. If so, then this move would be 8/4, 10/5. I am worried that this is way out of line though because of the fact that white has a better board and blue doesn't have an advanced anchor. I can't remember exactly what the necessary logistics are for having the opportunity to use this type of play. It does bode well for us if white misses, we then have the opportunity to make a very strong three point board with four of his men back and possibly one or two of them on the bar. Very strong double if that happens...
