Honest

   

To call a play honest is usually mild criticism. It means that it is too straightforward, too simple, that it is too easy on the opponent and does not afford enough opportunity.

Honest is also used to indicate the opposite of tricky, unsound play made in the hope of inducing an error. See hamete.

Honest move is also sometimes an incorrect translation of honte.
