A lot of this noodling was done on paper but I've replicated it here. It's pretty basic and explicit but I find it nice to not just wave your hands and go "and here's the answers". I catch more errors myself this way. And who knows, maybe I messed it up!
board games
This is the question that every new student I have asks after a few games played. I've wondered this myself. Through my two decades of playing the game I've read a great deal on the history of the evolution of the board itself.
Today, in general, we play on boards that are 19x19, but this wasn't always so. In Ancient times Go was played on boards from 15x15, 17x17, and 19x19. Somewhere around the 200CE we see everyone settle out on the 19x19 board.
I am going to embark upon a journey to keep this blog up-to-date, at least with just my life happenings and my random thoughts. Just so I have them written down someplace.
Let's just look at the highlights shall we?
PAX Prime 2012!
This was a fun crazy time! We got in the Wednesday before PAX and spent that day and Thursday wandering around Seattle having lunch in the Sky Needle, which was delicious, and hunting for a pair of boots for Sioned.
PAX itself was great. I spent a bit of time in tabletop free play and getting games demoed to us.
