Re: Slipping to Shodan-

120 moves in 10 min. That is not enough time spent thinking.

And board quality does not matter! Thank you all.

How's this set?

I'm poor and I can't get a set over $40. The set I want is 19.98$ and it's plastic, which is good for an eleven year old. Here's the set. http://shop.gogameguru.com/newbie-go-game-set/ Feel free to leave critique and other cheap sets.
