Yellow Mountain Imports Beechwood Veneer (0.4-Inch) Etched Beginner's Reversible 9x9/13x13 Go Game Set Board with Double Convex Melamine Stones - Classic Strategy Board Game (Baduk/Weiqi)

The quality of the go set pieces is excellent. The pamphlet has easy to follow rules and exercises that enable a novice to grasp the game with just an hour or two of effort.I had to laugh, though, at the pamphlet's dated assertion that computers were simply not up to the task of winning against top Go players -- search for DeepMind's AlphaGo AI program winning match against Lee Sedol, a terrific documentary.

The board was my biggest fear and it is much nicer than I thought. The stones are very nice and satisfying to touch and having the 9x9 has been so helpful to teach my friends with. You could easily upgrade just the board later and be just fine with these stones. I think it comes with the 180 count of each color. Couldn’t be bothered to count them one by one.

I always wanted a decent board and stones. I am very pleased with this one. 👍🏾

Excellent, beautiful board. I will be getting some nice containers for the black and white stones otherwise very nice.

Love it

The stones were as advertised and the quality was good. The board material as well was of decent construction but the geometry was so off that it was a bit surprising. Symmetry is so important and everything about the board was off. The board itself isn’t square which is the first give away. The box and the packaging too. But even if the board weren’t square the game board itself needs to be square. The 13x13 was an inch shorter in one direction. The 9x9 was ~1/2inch off. I can not recommend this product until they fix their manufacturing and prove its validity.

Looks good. I'll echo the sentiments of others in that this is a set that hits the sweet spot in terms of quality and price for those who are not all that serious about GO but are looking for something more than a plastic board.
