Double Atari
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Tactics
A 'double atari' 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. (Dansol in Korean, I believe. In Japanese it is ryouatari.)
BenAxelrod - This is a very simple way to get a double atari. As a beginner, playing against mostly other beginners, I see it a lot. This is a copy of the living page "Double Atari" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
