Go, Igo, Weiki, Baduk - SV650.org

11-01-07, 01:43 PM

I've just started getting into GO (through the Anime Hikaru No Go) and it's reallly hard work but addictive.

I was curious if anyone else on the .org plays or has played (Or would like a game some time!)

For a game with such simple rules and goals it makes chess look like a game of tic tac toe...

Yep. I have a small board and stones.

I really want a proper goban though, that would be nice.

Same here but it's not cheap and you can't get any decent stuff in the UK

How strong are you

I'm on KGS if you ever want a game :Smile:
I'm about 28 KYU at the moment so don't worry about being rusty Wink

(or if the mods were ok I could post a board in a post and you could play a play-by-post game =p)

Ahh yeah I already knew about MasterGames but I dismissed them as I can import a table for a fraction of the price than they sell for =p

It's only Shin Kaya rather than Kaya but at £170 including shipping THIS isn't bad

At £350 including shipping If you want to go Kaya then THIS is nice at half the price of Mastergames

I suppose you could get a painful suprise if customs get their hands on it and slap tax and duties on it.
Even the Kaya boards come in cheaper but again customs could possibly mess that up =p

If I win the lottery I may get a Kaya Decorative Table and Shell/Slate stones =p
(The stones are about a grand a set for the snow grade right?)
