Double Atari
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Tactics

[Diagram]
Double atari

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 W1 is a double atari. It reduces both marked black groups to one liberty. Black can only save one of his marked 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.
