Stones in atari

  • 1 The state of a stone or group of stones that has only one liberty left.

In the diagram, the single WS stones are all in atari. The only liberties left are the circled intersections.

The five black stones on the top right are in atari as well. The only liberty they have left is the circled intersection.

The two white stones in the lower right corner are in atari too.

By the way, hatari is the word for 'danger' in Kiswahili. Thought you ought to know that. Charles
