The kanji 一 in 神の一手


In the game of go (囲碁{いご｝), the expression 神｛かみ｝の一手｛いって｝ refers to the perfect
game of go, and it is referenced multiple times in the anime Hikaru no Go.

My question: Why 神の一手 and not 神の手? I can't find the kanji 手 alongside 一 on any
online dictionary.




According to [jisho.org](http://jisho.org/search/%E4%B8%80%E6%89%8B):

> 一手{いって}: move (in game); method; single-handed; monopoly

From the Japanese definition, it mostly refers to moves in 囲碁 and 将棋. Since it
is a board game term, it makes sense in 神の一手 (god's go moves/method) more than
神の手 (hand of god).
