there is apparently at least one amateur player who is blind. Kim Hoogenraad. she also plays chess

her solution is to use a special second board with rough and smooth pins inserted to keep track of the moves. it’s apparently a custom built thing

from https://senseis.xmp.net/?BlindGo

btw fuck sensei’s library generally, try to ignore their rampant sexism and i try to steer clear of them as a rule, but here we are

it’s the whole redditish nerd culture nonsense that’s become so rampant since the 80s

it’s especially grating as a woman to have to constantly deal with toxicity from people in every one of my niche interests lol. edit: i say “people” but i mean men

i wrote a post about it on my blog actually lol https://applebapsgaming.com/2020/06/25/fuck-senseis-library/

but even apart from the pages i link there, on the blind go page i linked you there’s a guy in the comments who says he made a board like Ms. Hoogenraad’s for a friend of his and he made the pieces a certain shape because it “felt more female” and on the word “female” he links to the playing strength and gender page

like, what the fuck is wrong with people

the nihon kiin apparently makes go equipment for the blind. the lines are instead raised rails, and the stones have dots on top for Black, and snap onto the rails snugly

i have no idea how you’d import one of these tho

oh nooooooo

that’s a really cool idea!
