Life In 19x19

Hi Tom,

No, I decided to keep the bi-convex ones. Before I thought that indeed it is nice to play with single convex stones, and use them for example to study variations and so on.... but (as I also read in some other posts) it is also not so nice to pick single convex stones from the bowl in a ...
