Can't find Reduced Goban and the respective stones

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

Can't find Reduced Goban and the respective stones

Post by psygo »

Hello people,

I've seen a smaller (19x19) goban at the house of a friend in Antwerp, he said he received it as a gift but he couldn't use it because he doesn't have the size-reduced stones. I think it's a cute format for a goban so I started searching for the stones as well as the goban. But I can't find it anywhere over the internet. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Anyone with an opinion about the reduced goban? I'm hesitanting about buying it, I've never played on it...

Probably more of a curiosity than for actual playing.

I searched everywhere and astonishingly I found one of these mini gobans at a nearby store, La Maison du Bridgeur, Bruxelles.

psygo, these photos are HUGE … this 1) kills the layout and 2) means lots of unavoidable net traffic.

So could you, please, 1) reduce the size of the photos and/or put them in hide tags? (AFAIK they will only be loaded after one clicks on the unhide button.) That would be awesome :-)

I am on DSL and so I personally don’t mind about the traffic but I know there are people here who do mind loading MBs on their mobiles; my eyes hurt, though, when I see the broken layout and I’d prefer to click the unhide button, look, and then hide the pics again.

Cordially, Tom
