I’m looking to buy a semi-respectable Go set for my girlfriend for her birthday (I’ll admit it–I’m looking to inherit her old particle board thing). I’m looking at Yutopian.
I’m just starting myself, so I don’t know anything about quality. How do these prices look? So far, I’ve picked out the 2" agathis board .
In terms of stones, I’m wondering whether I sould buy her glass or plastic official stones. All I really know is that the quality of the equipment affects the resonance of the sound of the stone striking the board.
If anybody knows of any better places to buy this stuff (I just googled this), or if there’s any important stuff I should know, please let me know. Thanks.
There doesn’t seem to be a picture of that one, but in general, the prices don’t seem to be out of line on the site. As far as what to look for, I don’t think there’s really much that’ll make it wrong, including which type of stones to go with. Traditional design has blonde wood grain if that counts for anything. Great gift idea, I think.
Yeah. She’s the one who got me into the game, and hence, has been beating the hell out of me in ever game that I’ve ever played with her. In terms of the stones, though, should I go with glass, or regulation weighted plastic?
