Well, I did play a game of Go yesterday. We played on a 19×19 board and Janne gave me handicap of nine stones (he’s about 15k, I’m about 25k). It was an interesting and pretty close match, which I eventually won by 4 points. I had more separate batches of territory, but he had about 40 points in two large areas on the sides of the board.

My cheap (20 € or so) Go board proved out to be quite nice. The stones are a bit too small, perhaps, and the board gets slightly crowded sometimes, but when you consider the price of the board, it’s not bad at all.
