Divine move
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A divine move is a truly inspired and original move in a game of Go. A divine move should be a non-obvious move which balances strategy and tactics to turn a losing game into a winning game. Divine move is singular—they are of such rarity that a full-time go player might be lucky to play a single such move in his or her lifetime. The Divine Move is the ultimate move.
An example of one such divine move might be seen in the ear reddening move played by Honinbo Shusaku in 1846, during what is considered to be his most famous game.
From the Japanese 神の一手 "Kami no Itte" ("hand of a god")
The possessing spirit Fujiwara-no-Sai in the story Hikaru No Go must play a divine move to find lasting peace. Also in the Manga, Touya Meijin, father of Akira Touya, wants to play a divine move.
