A light-hearted challenge for the kyus: find the rare & elusive triple atari! 🧩

For the sake of discussion, suppose that a triple atari is a play that simultaneously puts three groups of stones into atari.

It’s endgame between 2 dan players and black just played theT8 hane and white blocked:

Before black’s hane, the score estimator says it’s a half-point game, but can black’s trick play of hane into triple atari save the day?

Strong player disclaimer: I know that triple atari isn’t the most suitable terminology but c’est la vie :victory_hand:

(this post is meant for discussion and the amusement of kyus)

Nice trick! The title of the thread makes guessing the move a bit too easy.

No supposing needed, it does!

If you count self-atari as atari as well, you can even play quadruple atari.
