I'm wondering if any such thing exists. There seem to be plenty of electronic chess playing systems, but all go boards I've seen so far are decidedly non-technological.
Do you folks know of any Go boards like that? Specifically, it'd be nice if it could interface with a computer, but anything at combining electronics and Go would be of interest.
I say this because I rarely have opportunity to play Go with people in real life, but staring at a computer screen makes it difficult for me to concentrate on the game. The ideal board would allow one to play through KGS, but I don't expect any such thing exists. Just out of curiousity-- would any of you use a board like that if you could buy one?
Let's say the board looks just like a normal Go board, but registers your moves, and flashes a light indicating the position your online opponent has played (so you could place his/her stone on the board.) Would this be distracting? Do you think such a board would be conductive to learning Go?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
