How many plays by White to put this into atari?[1]

The answer is: 18 plays since you must include WC.

[1] Deebster: I'm trying to think of a way to rephrase this so it's pedantically correct, as without WC the group is still in atari, just not for very long... Is there a word/phrase meaning "definitely could be killed next move"?

Charles You have a point. Perhaps 'safely' should be added. Of course in cases of snapback that wouldn't meet the case either. So in general 'successfully' is meant.
