As a casual player and proud owner of typical cheap glass stones I didn't even think I'd react so vividly to the orgasmic sound difference the real stones make on the board .. but MAN that click - clack difference resonated and sounded so soothing

I lived in Japan for years in the 70's; a friend of mine gifted me a Go set.. true kaya made from thick stump wood with a nice patina, legs, and sword etched... The stones were clam and slate.. Then when I moved back the the US, I left the set there because it was too heavy to carry and I was too stupid to ship it home. It was probably worth a lot.. Every time I play go now I kick myself.

After twenty years of loving the game, I too, finally broke down and bought myself a beautiful set of slate & shell stones (and a floor goban with tachimori laquor lines) through eBay [I think it was an estate sale], and as lovely as they are, I don't get to use them nearly as often as I would like, either. They are definitely a show-piece in my parlour/living-room when I have guests, though; and, I have used them to lure many potential addicts into the obsessive ranks of competitive play in the decade since! There is definitely something about the kinesthetics that is particularly intoxicating!

I bought a Kaya board from mr. Kurunis about 5 years ago when I was just beginning (a few months after I began playing) and some Real Shell stones blossom grade and slate from an online dealer. When I realized how bad I sucked at the game , I put them down and didn't begin practicing on that real board until I reached Dan Level. Nick's got a point when he says he didn't feel quite worthy of playing on a several hundred to one thousand dollar set until he got good. I'm not some snob about it, but the investment in high quality stones and board should only be made if you intend to spend several hours per week studying. You kind of can't let something that nice just sit around and collect dust ya know? I can gladly say that I've spent several hundred hours pounding mine into the ground since I bought it -- I estimate I've put in over 200 hours practice on it since making Dan level and resuming play on it (just this year). Size 32 stones are the ideal and at least a shin kaya board with Zelkova wood bowls are recommended for a serious set purchase. These will run you about $400-600 total if you buy second hand. www.kiseidopublishing.com/go_equipment.htm shop.kurokigoishi.co.jp/en/ These are some links that may help you all to get a better set.

I kind of just ended up with a few different sets. My first set was a folding board and glass stones I found at a Korean market. Then I decided it was kind of annoying to lug around so I bought a small magnetic set. Then I spent some money and got a Shin Kaya board and Jujube bowls from YMI. Then after a few years I decided I liked single convex better than double convex so I bought a new set of S.C. Yunzi to replace the D.C. Yunzi that came with the YMI set. After this much time a lot of the glass stones from my first set were broken or lost, so I bought a set of S.C. glass stones from a market, but I dislike them and they were kind of a waste. But if you are going to spend 30 dollars on glass stones, get Yunzi's instead. So much better. Shell stones have the grain on them, but Yunzi have the green halos!
@StopFear5 жыл бұрын
I bought and I am very happy with the authentic yunzi stones. The ones whose black stones are slightly greenish when the light passes through. BUT, I think for any relatively new or casual player it is a bad investment because you need to know whether you'd be playing with anybody and if you yourself be playing regularly. It could end up being a cumbersome thing that'll stay in your closet.

I have a foldable magnetic board with little plastic stones and bowls that fit inside the board when you close it. It was, I think, around $60. It was my first set. Its nice, the board is the regular size. It has served me well for several years. My dream is to have a nice thick floor board. I told myself that I would only buy one when I have hit 1dan. Just to prove that I'm committed to studying Go. I also plan on buying some decent stones and bowls to go with my floor board. I have always thought that the board set up in the Yugen no ma room is the coolest way to play Go. I like to dream that one day I will be able to play there, challenging Iyama Yuta for a title :)

I learned go at a go club with glass stones and good sized boards. The set I have is tiny. The go board is about the size of a chess board and 19x19. The stones are plastic and also tiny to make up for the small board. It works fine, but it is the worst to play on. Also the stones are in small plastic bags which adds to the bad experience. I might have to get myself a proper board and glass stones.
