Re: Advice needed: keeping the cat off of my board

Some 20 years ago, I saw an ad for a transparent go ban cover. It was basically a plastic box, open on one side. It was tall enough to use over a thick board with legs, and had enough room so go stones would be left on the board.

Maybe you could make one, or have someone make one?

Re: Advice needed: keeping the cat off of my board

Thanks for all of the brainstorming! After considering everyone's comments, I think it's less about it being a perch, and more about it being an object of my interest, which isn't something I considered before.

Advice needed: keeping the cat off of my board

Re: Go books library to sell

Bogiesan, agreeing with others above, if you decide to break up your collection, I would happily purchase some.

In regards to Kiseido/Yutopian, if they stop printing their books, will another company print them thereafter? Or will we doomed to search for ever-fewer secondhand copies?

Re: Show off your BOWLS

Just scroll back through this forum for a couple of years' worth of posts. You will find many user photos and discussions and links to external sources like imgur, google, painters, and retailers.

Show off your BOWLS

Hi folks, I've been searching around a bit for bowls, but I'm not sure what I would like to get. The bowls I have came with the stones I bought (secondhand), and are both cracked. So: for research purposes, please share pictures of your bowls!

Hi from San Francisco!

Hi folks! I'm a novice player coming back after several years of life taking priority. I was never very good to begin with and pretty much only have my love of the game left--I'm essentially a new player all over again! Still fun af though :D

Re: ZBaduk - LeeLa Zero from your webbrowser

Hi there, I saw above that ZBaduk is looking for sponsors. Is there somewhere where folks can donate in a small way, such as a kofi or patreon?
