The Deluxe Go Set includes one of the most attractive tabletop Go boards you can buy without paying a premium for traditional kaya. The size 36 glass Go stones in this Go game set (0.41 inches or 10.4 mm thick) produce a satisfyingly sharp snapping sound when played. The bowls in this set are made from ash wood, with a deep and rich red hue that contrasts beautifully with the lighterboard. The 2.4 inch (6 cm) board is made from a single piece of shin kaya, which gives it a beautiful, unbroken grain. Shin kaya is what the Japanese call spruce (picea glauca). It literally means 'new kaya' because spruce resembles traditional kaya in terms of color and grain. This board is made from genuine Alaskan Spruce (shin kaya). Beware of inferior boards made from excessively yellow 'Tibetan Spruce' which can't compare with this board. Shin kaya needs to be dried well, before it can be used to make Go boards, so that the wood won't easily change shape or crack. Any board thicker than 5 inches should be dried for at least 5 years. Some manufacturers cut corners when drying wood, to save money. This can result in boards warping or cracking. We guarantee that all Go boards purchased from Go Game Guru have been dried properly. Although called 'glass stones', quality stones like the ones in this set would be better described as ceramic stones. These are much stronger and more resilient than glass, and won't crack or chip easily. The additional thickness gives the stones a roundness, which means they rock more than thinner stones after being played. This is generally considered to be a desirable quality, and is preferred by serious players. The size 36 stones included in this set will fit snugly in the size 15 bowls, which are 5.9 inches or 15 cm in diameter. The bowls are made of ash, a hardwood which is also commonly used to make quality tool handles and baseball bats, because of its durability.
