Re: Your Go study space
Walking around with my iPhone, sitting on the bed with my laptop after the rest of my family goes to sleep...
I had a dedicated table from ikea, and a board on top of it a few years ago, but space ended up at a premium.

I can see why you marreid her Daemin!
My study space looks a lot like Christos'... I'll be sure to say hi if we ever bump into each other there. (Although I would be very surprised.)

Re: Your Go study space
I don't exactly have a designated space, But I have a writing desk that I use for general study. It's kind of cluttered around it.

How can you keep your balcony from being covered in dust daily? I could never set up like that in Beijing.sefo wrote:Some people here have very good setups.

Re: Your Go study space
I like them a lot. They're definately a huge step up from the plastic stones i had *bleh*. They look really nice and they make a nice solid *klak* on the bamboo board. The only thing that took me a while to get over was how heavy they are. A friend of mine has a set of double convex glass stones that are easily twice as thick and they weigh about the same.

Re: Your Go study space
Do they feel thin or odd compared to the double convex stones you've used? I have a set of double convex yunzi, and am quite curious.

Re: Your Go study space
Well they don't feel thin to me. The plastic stones I had were double convex, but they were super thin, so these are actually a little thicker. My friends double convex stones were waaaay thicker, i actually found them a bit too thick for my taste, which is why i wanted to try single convex. It does take a little bit getting used to the flat side though. They dont feel odd to me to hold them, but there were times when i'd accidently play a stone upside down and be like *whoops* and have to flip it back over
, but after a few days i got used to them and it doesnt happen anymore.

Re: Your Go study space
I think I jumped a bit late into this forum but decided to post anyway

Sorry about the size of the pictures, my camera takes them large and I'm not quite sure how to shrink them.
Edit: Check lemmata's post for pictures.
