Flipping Shell Stones?

One side of the board than the other ? I always think the two sides are exactly with same length. I guess I am wrong.

Yes, you are.

So it is possible that you were cheated like I was. The details you could find by reading my post in my forum. I think the good board should be exactly 19 cm multiply 19 cm. So maybe they sold you a fake board?

Does it matter which side you put on the board when you play?

one side is longer than the other, and the longer side usually runs with the grain of the wood.

It seems if one side is a little bit longer than the other, then I assume it is still fine. But of course, if one side is much longer than the other, then, I would say ,oh my god??????

Uhm, you mean Sensei has been cheated, too?

OK OK, I admit that was overbored overboard.

I believe that traditionally, Chinese boards are perfectly square, whereas Japanese boards are slightly longer in one dimension, so the source of your board may reflect the squareness/lack of squareness of it.
