Myoshu, or spelled out with the long vowels, "Myooshu", means an "extraordinary", "excellent", "magnificent" move, and such a move is unexpected by most people when it is made. The Chinese pinyin for the same word is "Miao4 Shou3".


Trying to make every stone a most efficient move would naturally leave some thinness in one's own shapes.[1] When shapes become thin, one has to struggle to save these weak stones. A myoshu move is even better than a tesuji move, which is more local.

[1] I beg your pardon! That's ridiculous.
Also, if you have some thin stones, maybe you should not struggle to save them. Throwing them away is an option.
Also, a myoshu is a tesuji, as a rule. -- Bill Spight
