DIY Go board

billzhao

( b! |( R. W' aI planned to teach my students how to play Go, but it is so complex a game that most of my students were not really interested in learning it. I bought about 20 sets from China, and I did not want them wasted on the shelf. One day I showed my students how to play five in a row. I also showed them the strategies of how to make 3.3 and 4.3. As a result, my students liked this game very much! After playing for about 3 months, the plastic boards are becoming worn out.

First I cut a square board which measures 17 by 17 inches, and gave it a good sanding. Then I calculated the distance between the lines that I was going to draw, marked the locations of the lines with dots, and connected the dots with a ruler. Finally I waxed the board which made the board look professional. I made three of them in a half a day.
