Has anyone seen the magnetic stones that Michael Redmond used on the demonstration board for the Deepmind match for sale somewhere? They are double sided black/white, similar to othello stones. Seem superior to the normal demo stones. |

This what you're after? Have used pentangle for books and their service was good. http://www.pentanglepuzzles.co.uk/shop/Magnetic-Go-Demonstration-Pack---19x19-and-9x9-G_DE02.html |

The set in that link has two separate sets of stones. It is also not clear as to how big it is. I have a demo board which is about 3 foot square and has two sets of stones, one black and one white. I think that is probably what Redmond was using in the commentary. |

I noticed that stones too, that‘s a great idea: it solves the everytime problem of having the wrong colour stone in your hand when re-creating a position.I tried some research in the net looking for the following words: Othello/Reversi + demostration + magnetic board with little/no success. Seems that it is not so standard to have Othello classes like we are used to have for Go ![]() So I was resolving to create a self made set (i.e. asking someone with the right ability to do it ![]() Galation |
