Brilliant move

In Go, a myoushu is a move that transcends conventional expectations. It may appear counterintuitive or even weak at first glance, but upon deeper analysis, it reveals surprising effectiveness. Such a move often changes the flow of the game, shifting balance or creating opportunities where none seemed to exist.

Myoushu are typically praised for their creativity, efficiency, and timing. They might involve sacrifices, clever tesuji, or exploiting aji in unexpected ways. While many standard tesuji are known and practiced, a true myoushu usually stands out by its originality or perfect fit for a specific situation.
