The Way of Onitama 1 is a tournament organized in Boardgame Arena, which started a few days ago and attracted some of the best Onitama players in the platform.

In this first round match, we see an incredible game between Zeneszerzo and Knudthegreat — both of them are among the top Onitama players in BGA, and this match perfectly reflects how good they are, as there are no major mistakes or inaccuracies from either player.

What also makes this game special is that it defies our general rule of “not holding on to the ‘best’ card”, but it does so in an incredible way: Zeneszerzo gives us a masterclass on how to harness the benefits of holding on to the ‘best’ card, with a perfect mix of aggressive positional play and unintuitive but sharp moves that allow him to sustain this aggression while leaving virtually no weaknesses! Despite his nearly flawless play, Knudthegreat is not able to withstand the pressure from Zeneszerzo, enabled by controlling the unique diagonal, and ends up losing a well fought game.
