I've been to my local go club, and i've been surprised by the number of plater which take a fan to play go.
So, do you usually play with a fan?

Re: Play with a fan?

Re: Play with a fan?
I always considered it somewhat affected.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Re: Play with a fan?
I recently got one as a gift, and I won't consider playing with it until I get to 1-dan. I'd feel I was dishonoring the pro that signed it.

Re: Play with a fan?
I assume you mean
No. I have never played go in conditions where I would have needed one, and I doubt I ever will.

Re: Play with a fan?
Yes. I always play with my fan at my side. I also like to decorate the playing halls I visit with tasteful wall scrolls from only the very best anime.

Re: Play with a fan?
I sometimes use a fan during tournaments or serious online games. I am a fast player and holding my fan rather stones/the mouse makes me play slower.

Re: Play with a fan?
no, I never use a fan.
I have one that I got from a Japanese fellow that I helped out.
I keep it with the Goban (real one with legs) that I also never use to play on.
Both the Fan and Goban are more for decoration than actual use.
I like the empty triangle commic

Re: Play with a fan?
I do own a fan, but I've never played a game with it. That said, I can understand those who do. I tend to concentrate better if I can fritter away some nervous energy. Usually this means I rummage through the stone bowl, or tumble stones in my hand making a racket. Both bad habits. Quietly rolling a closed fan, or gently wafting a breeze would be much less intrusive. Maybe I'll start. So I vote [x] Plan to.
