How convenient! I played Go a bit in high school, mainly against people I knew at the time shortly after I taught them the rules. It's been several years and I hadn't played at all until recently when I decided to get back into it. I'm on KGS under the name "ryanodine", but with only four games total played on the server (three against bots, I'm a 21k? right now). Haven't checked out the SA room yet but maybe I will sometime.

I can also vouch for Yellow Mountain Imports. I just recently ordered a complete game set from them and everything went smoothly. Their customer service is amazing and fast: they sent me more stones when my set was a few short (less than an hour after I e-mailed about it) and when my board arrived with some minor manufacturing defects, they mailed me a new one and told me to keep the first. (I suppose I'll have to buy a second set of stones and bowls to go with it.) They also have an e-bay page where you can buy superficially damaged merchandise at very low prices.

Glad to see a thread about this go up. I'd been doubtful about the presence of a SA Go community.

No, the slot doesn't give me a problem. Remind me to take a picture of the reason it was a hundred dollars off if you ever want a good laugh. The smallest break I have ever seen.

By the way, if I wanted to buy some cheap cute lil' appropriately sized stones, how much would that run me?

In case someone hasn't told you this yet, your problem is that you bought a Japanese sized board with Chinese style stones. The one-sided Chinese stones are slightly wider than the double-sided Japanese stones. That's why some board retailers offer boards in either Chinese or Japanese sizing.

I bought a set of ING stones with plastic bowls a while back from Yutopian, the total was about $30 including shipping. Some people say that don't like them but they seem fine to me.
