Kami No Itte
   

Literally means 'God's move' in Japanese. I think it means perfect play.

Hikaru no Go fans will probably be more familiar with the phrase 'The Hand of God', which Sai is striving to achieve - as should all Go players!

Of the deshi here, Bill Spight is probably closest; at least in the endgame :-)

Bill: Please, no. Sometimes, with study, I can find the largest play in a small area. Nothing deserving such praise.
In a real game, if I make the right play it is probably an accident.

In [ext] Rob van Zeijst's current column, Otake Hideo? is quoted as saying that he would need to take three or four stones from God.
