Life In 19x19

Where do you live upstate?

I live in Ithaca, and we have a bunch of go players here. I know of clubs in Syracuse and Rochester.

Still waiting on #6 :> also: your move @ogs ^^

Sorry for the delay. I have to go out of town for the weekend, and I'm not sure I'll get the pictures done before I leave. Also, I forgot I had told my wife she could use it as a present for her young brother if she wanted, so I have to get her ...

Thanks!

If I could only create a couple more square feet in my apartment, I'd buy #4. Somehow, the rough condition makes it more appealing. As it is, there's no way I'd persuade my partner we can fit a block of wood she has no interest in using

But one day we'll move.... Thanks for the pictures!

I ...

How much were you asking for the bowls / stones. Will you sell the bowls separately?

Hi Uzziel,

Sorry for not replying to the PM, I just noticed it.

Thanks for your interest. At this point, I don't want to sell the bowls/stones separately. If someone is interested in the Katsura board, I want ...

Any way to estimate shipping cost to Germany? Seems like I’ve got a new job, and as soon as I have recovered a bit financially, perhaps 1st quarter of 2013, I might consider purchasing one of #3/#4/#5 … a friend of mine who’s a carpenter would work it up for me.

I'll try to find out, though I ...

I'll try to post pics later today.

I would love a goban like #4 or #5. But not as damaged/worn off.

Yeah, I was going to reline them, but never got around to it (and wasn't sure of the best way to do it). There was a post on the old godiscussions.com about someone refinishing a board like these, and it looked pretty good, but the ...

Changed the title to more accurately reflect the thread.

OK, I'll pull them out of the closet and take a couple of photos. Should have time to do it tomorrow (or worst case the next day).

I have a 40 sun (4.7 inches, 12 cm) Katsura go board I am looking to sell. If there turns out to be interest, I will post pics.

I bought the board a few years ago, but I find I just never have much chance to use it. I never really get to play at home, and don't have the space to just keep it out ...

And now back to one of the more go related topics in this thread ....

It seems to me that anyone who sees the value in studying professional games (and it appears than many people do see very high value in this) already understand on some level (perhaps subconsciously) that "holism" in an ...

I realize what I'm about to say is still a bit "Western" in it's approach, but ...

In other (non-go) areas of my life, I've found that holism is, in and of itself, is a separate skill.

One can learn to pour concrete, cut and nail boards, run wires, connect pipes, set windows, and apply roofing ...

I've created a separate thread in order to not hijack this discussion, but I'm making an offer to help facilitate volunteers who want to work on projects:
