Your Go study space

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

I'm imagining a scene one doesn't see in the cinema. A group of older samurai in a long meeting with the daimyo are sitting in seiza and fidgeting to the point that the younger samurai start wondering if a coup is about to occur.

We need more pictures of Go boards and cats! They always make my day. :D

I'd get an updated picture of my Go "study" space, but all it would be currently is a giant stack of boxes, with my Go board in a box somewhere at the bottom of the pile. :-?

No you don't! They are shamelessly fawning tail-waggers while they are weak and insufferably arrogant once they catch up.

Now that Roze takes White it's all kinds of 'leader of the pack' nonsense.

Plus she is a shameless cheater, always claiming that the lack of opposable thumbs or even fingers for that matter means that her stones end up on the wrong intersections and have to be moved around. :evil:

Plus her teaching style is hopeless.

She fills it with all this ambiguity stuff that leaves me without a clue! :scratch:

But let me win for once and is she interested anymore?

He doesn't have a color preference, as long as he can push them onto the floor.

My stones are 9.2mm Yunzi.

Yeah. He likes to throw curve balls. Keeps me on my toes ;)

I'm not sure what game that was. I was following a game on baduk tv and trying different stuff.

Ed ! I followed your advice and got a reply ! It's apparently Sakura :razz:

I think in the previous pictures the lighting was a bit off, consequently giving the bowls a deceptively darker hue. Here's one in slightly better lighting -

Be careful, the pictures are HUGE...how does I shrink? :scratch:

New apartment and therefore new prominent position for the go board. The plum blossom room divider we purchased to block the glare on the tv helps to keep me secluded and focused.

My view isn't as good as sefo's but there is something calming about headlights moving down dark alleys at night while you're safe inside playing go.
