Ear Reddening Game
Famous game between GennanInseki and Shusaku. At move 127, all the spectators still thought Gennan was winning. Only a doctor, watching the game, disagreed. When pressed to give his opinion, he said "I don't know much about go, but upon seeing 127, Gennan's ears flushed red. That was a sign of him being upset. The move must have taken him by surprise." Shusaku went on to win the game, and in the analysis move 127 was marked as being the turning point. The deepness of the move, but especially the extraordinary observation of the doctor, made this move probably the most famous move in Go history.
