Go Stones: Professional Standard Glass Go Stones - Size 36 Biconvex

الوصف

These size 36 glass Go stones offer a nice compromise between affordability and quality. They're also the exact same make of stones used in most professional Go tournaments in Korea. Size 36 refers to the thickness of the stone (in this case 0.41 inches or 10.4 mm). The additional thickness and weight of these stones gives them a pleasant feeling in your hand and produces a sharp and satisfying snapping sound when the stones are played. Because size 36 stones are comparatively rounder, they usually to rock more than thinner stones for a few seconds after being played. This is generally considered to be a desirable quality, and these stones tend to be preferred by serious players. This set includes 181 black stones and 180 white stones, for a total of 361 Go stones. The stones are the Japanese standard size (0.87'' or 22 mm in diameter) and will fit with all standard sized Go boards - like any of those available from Go Game Guru. Although typically called 'glass stones', quality stones like these would be better described as ceramic stones. These stones are much stronger and more resilient than you'd usually expect from glass, and won't crack or chip easily. If they're not abused, they should last you a lifetime.
