Life In 19x19

I remember reading something about it potentially being related to the contemporaneous chess craze involving Bobby Fischer. This is mentioned on the Sensei's Library page but I think I read a more specific conjecture. I'm not that familiar with it though so I'll leave this as a speculative loose-end.

I was modifying my homemade go board when something happened that made me think of this thread. I was sanding the board to remove the engraved lines because I started using thinner stones and their edges would catch on the engraving when using the te-tsuki technique of snapping a stone against an ...

Alright bit of a hiccup. As I got more invested in the project I started putting too much pressure on myself. This attempt to share my experience is certainly a compounding challenge for me. I've bought new tools, come up with new-to-me techniques, and jig ideas, and also run up against the ...

Thanks for the encouragement bogiesan!

I'm aware my design is neither the ideal for structural or traditional reasons, but I'm looking to experiment with the visual representation of the game. I have a sturdy, more plain board already so it is not a project of productive necessity. If the result ...

For any one else interested The Master of Haengma appears to be available at Schaak en Gowinkel het Paard: https://www.schaakengo.nl/goshop-keima/ ... engma-baek

I know that Yutopian is out of stock of This is Haengma and I've seen a post that they were out of stock of The Master of Haengma as well. The website for Schach Niggemann (from the link provided) has it listed as out of production . Both books appear to be out of print and I don't beleive any ...

Edit: I am no longer in the market for these books. Thanks!
