Your Go study space

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

I'd get an updated picture of my Go "study" space, but all it would be currently is a giant stack of boxes, with my Go board in a box somewhere at the bottom of the pile. :-?

I know that feeling :D


The filename reminded me of this cartoon also named catgo.
Sorry, I don't know the source or maker. I do not know who 'tango' is. Someone from here?

Been waiting the time when I could show off a Go Study Space that I could proudly call my own. Hope you guys like it!

The board is an agathis 2.4" table board. The stones are size 32 double convex yunzi. The clock is an awesome Chronos touch clock which my best friends dad let me use. The tea set I got for a steal from Ross. And the table is one that I built myself. It has a hole in the center where the table board fits in perfectly.

Some of you may have seen my Facebook post about recently buying a floor board from another user here (Erythen), but I wanted to share what my bedroom currently looks like now that I've got cushions and things to go with the board :lol:

The setup makes me happy every time I enter the room. It makes me want to study each time I see it :)

Ha! It's comfortable to practice from the side. I guess I didn't turn it for the photos :oops:

The view of my home office is a bit distorted, but that's basically my room to always return to for my own interestes. There's the Nihon Ki-in calendar in the corner.

The other picture is a part of our living room.

We now have a go room!

Go board/bowls/stone/wife/cat. Board is a Hyuga kaya masame 1.9 sun 3-piece board from Kuroki Goishiten (http://shop.kurokigoishi.co.jp/en/item/1743 has better pictures). Bowls are shii (castanopsis) [as in shiitake mushrooms, they grow on the fallen wood of this tree]. Stone are size 33 jitsuyo slate and shell from het Paard (Kiseido reseller). Wife and cat are lovely.
