That looks great! My only concern would be the stones getting knocked onto the floor and making a mess…

We’ve been thinking about that. The bowls are up there as a trial run. They’re surprisingly stable because of the furry fabric in which the box is covered; they don’t easily slide. Might get them their own shelf if this doesn’t work out.

I would say they’re out of the kids’ reach, but the 6yo is innovative…

is the board itself hanging on the wall or is it inside a shelf? How do you take it out? Looks like a pretty tight fit if it’s 2 separate cases.

Three people at our »Go-Abend« today … @mkei (across the table) kicked our respective asses (10k & ~25k), as so often.

To the left my new shin-kaya board and S&S stones & bowls which all I got used a week ago (“used” meaning they had been played once, about ten years ago).

20.05.2016 in Osielsko, Poland. There were almost 60 kids playing Ponnuki-Go and Go on 13x13. This is the last time we have so many pupils in one tournament. Starting next school year we plan on doing a school team tournament with smaller tournaments at schools. The photos are at the school page of one of the participants (mostly 13x13go players)

Haven’t posted a game in a while. Playing on the lawn on a beautiful late summer day. @calantir (w) won by 10.5 points. I like the lighting in this one.
