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:
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).
