Double Atari
  Difficulty: Beginner  

[Diagram]
Diag.: Double atari

A double atari (dansol in Korean, I believe. In Japanese it is ryouatari) is a play that puts two groups of stones into atari, i.e. it reduces the two groups to one liberty each.

White 1 is a double atari. It reduces both marked black groups to one liberty. Black can only save one of his groups.

Failure to see a double atari can be very costly in games.
