Vox and I played 5 games last night and he had a winning evening, beating me 3 of the 5 games. One of his wins was by just half a point. I neglected to photograph the first game, which Vox won, so our photos today begin with the second game of the evening.

Key to this game were the 9 stones I killed in the centre of the board.

Vox got off to a good start and dominated this game. Even without komi, he was well ahead.

Vox’s positions crumbled and I killed several groups for an easy win.

The game is all about playing stones on intersections of a 19X19 line grid (the world), trying to surround more territory than your opponent, who is trying to do the same, leading to complex battles. There are only a few rules but it is a difficult game to master. This particular board is leather and the strings are there to tie it up once it’s rolled up after use.
I have no idea what this game is… what is the ropey looking thing?
