I don't think it's there - it's a shame, because I absolutely love the recessed lines.

The colours, however, are better here than on YMI, so it's a definite plus. Thanks.

Edit: Did they specify the lines were engraved? I've never seen a website specify whether the lines were engraved or painted.


I think it was specified.

I'd send them a mail in case they still keep one stocked somewhere. It did look like a limited edition related in some way to the EGF. Maybe there's someone in the forum who knows about that.

It should be easy to see in a good picture whether the lines are engraved.

For example, in another board they have (http://www.hebsacker-verlag.de/go-brett ... -3747.html) you can clearly see in the pictures that the lines are painted.

I'm starting to feel really lucky I found my goban :mrgreen:

Yes, it seems hard to find. Even when I google image search "go board engraved lines" I'm lucky if i see a goban.

Thank you for your help - I think I'll shoot them an email and see what they have, although that board looks nice, I could go for that instead.

Board measures 18-1/4''L x 17''W x 2''H (46.5cm x 43cm x 5cm). I think is good colour and nice grain pattern.

I think it's Chinese standard, but to be honest I don't know.

the lines on a chinese board form squares. the lines on a japanese board form rectangles (just slightly longer than wide)

Excellent :) I just bought that very board from YMI... and it seems I must have gotten the last 2" Shin-Kaya they had in stock, because it doesn't appear on their website as a purchase option since I made the purchase :) That color looks quite nice compared to the earlier much more yellow ones.

Whoops! Spoke too soon. Looks like it's back in stock :)

I'm in Australia - so Europe is as good as YMI (providing the website is in English).
This may be too late to be useful, but if you're in Sydney you could go to Younggil's Go School and get a nice shin kaya board, while also saving yourself the cost of postage. Maybe you'll even have time for a lesson while you're there :).
(note: not the boards in the photo of the school, those are agathis, but with the same dimensions and with a whiter hue, like spruce should have)

If you're not in Sydney, we could also post one, which would save you a lot of money on international shipping. They're not up on our website yet, but they will be before the end of this month.
