Any Go player can tell you that Atari is the Go equivalent of "check".
You say it when you are one stone away from capturing a group. He was
one clue away from capturing 64K. Actually more than one clue, since 70%
of the audience was clue deprived too, choosing Atari as well.
I called my kids in, they ran to their rooms and whipped out their blue
tee shirts JN made (which say Leg Godt on the back) and were dancing and
laughing at this poor fellow. So was Regis, for that matter.
