Reply to this topic Return to forumI’ve been experimenting with 19x19 and I’m liking it very much.
Why no add 27x27 and 39x39? The numbers are obtained in this way:
sqrt(2*13^2) = 18.3 -> 19x19
sqrt(2*19^2) = 26.87 -> 27x27
sqrt(2*27^2) = 38.18 -> 39x39

11x11 doesn’t fit this pattern but it’s simply a traditional board size.
Who likes this idea?
Larger board would also allow us to use some handicaps, so everyone can play with everyone.
The only difficulty is that to visualize the board, it could be hard. Well, I think the players can learn to use zoom feature of the browser.
