I was watching a favorite anime with the subtitles off, and there was a dialog I almost completely understood, except for one word はいちゃく, so I decided to look it up.
From the context, I had a feeling about which Kanji it would use, but when I looked it up in a dictionary using hiragana, it didn’t come up. I forced it to use the suspected Kanji (I had to scroll down in the options a bit), and lo and behold: 敗着: The move that costs a go/shogi player the game. (Not a common word). The anime is about a shogi player.

FYI: yes, the show was ３月のライオン, and I’ve started a book club for the manga.
