The go proverb "beginners play atari" is much like the chess saying "patzer sees a check, gives a check". Beginners often find it difficult to resist the urge to give atari, even when the atari helps their opponent. In particular, one should beware of situations in which an atari may be aji-keshi.

See also Atari Atari.
