Postcard of an original artwork featuring the board game of Go, also known as Weiqi (围棋) in China, Baduk (바둑) in Korea and Igo (囲碁) in Japan. An atmospheric close-up of AlphaGo's innovative shoulder hit that shocked Lee Sedol and the rest of the world (move 37, game 2), a move that announced new chapters in artificial intelligence and go theory. Shoulder hits are often played on the fourth line, sometimes on the third line, but rarely on the fifth. At the time of play, many professionals regarded this move as a clear mistake by the computer. Once the game progressed, however, the move turned out to be brilliant, creating a sphere of influence towards the centre of the board. A sign of innovation by artificial intelligence. The background of the design is made with an art technique called paper marbling ("ebru" in Turkish and "suminagashi" in Japanese). Title: "Shoulder Hit on the Fifth Line. AlphaGo versus Lee Sedol - Game 2, Move 37". Postcard size is A6 (10,5 x 14,85 cm). Printed on heavyweight duo matt 310gsm paper. Has a velvety feel. All my postcards are handmade so I can guarantee the best quality. This design is also available as a poster in sizes A4 (21 x 29,7 cm), A3 (29,7 x 42 cm) and A3+ (32,9 x 48,3 cm): https://www.etsy.com/listing/811379664/poster-move-37-baduk-weiqi-go-game

Series of 6 rare screenprints / serigraphs by German artist Harald Germer. Title: Mejin. Edition: limited to 100 prints. This exemplar is number 76/100. Each print is individually hand signed and numbered. Material: printed on 300g Lana-Bütten paper. Size: 30x40cm. Comes in its original grey dust jacket, which is also numbered. Tamura Yasuhisa (1874-1940), better known under his go player's name - Shusai - became a symbol of ancient Japan. Being the last appointed Meijin he was regarded as the strongest go player (Igo 囲碁 / Weiqi 围棋 / Baduk 바둑) for decades. Late in the 1920s his supremacy was tested. The two young geniuses Go Seigen and Kitani Minoru came to the top of the go world to challenge him to official title matches. To everyone's astonishment, Shusai managed a win against Go Seigen. In 1937, Shusai, already ill and seemingly exhausted, accepted his last battle, against Kitani Minoru. The time of allotment of 40 hours a player showed what an extraordinary match this was. When the game ended on December 4th 1938, the "invincible master" had lost his last match. Japanese Nobel laureate writer Yasunari Kawabata wrote a novel about Shusai’s final game with Kitani Minoru, titled "Meijin". Its English title is "The Master of Go". With the help of old photographs Harald Germer transformed Shusai's final matches into 6 works of art. The style of the pictures reminds of the Japanese woodblock print tradition with a modern touch thanks to the sensible strokes of Germer's drawing style.

A thoughtful combination of fine textures and finishes, this Backgammon set expresses the more playful side of L’OBJET. Boasting materials such as lacquered Macassar ebony wood, marble, brass and shell inlay, this handsome piece will become the focal point of the room. Backgammon chips composed of shell and resin with a brass trim resemble beautiful jewels. Prior to founding L’Objet in 2004, Israeli-born Elad Yifrach was a successful designer in Beverly Hills. He was creating beautiful interiors, but he was frustrated by the limited options available in home accessories, so he set out to create something better. L’Objet’s collections are diverse, but they are almost always inspired by nature and architecture. Many of his exquisite serving pieces rest in a base of hand-crafted gold foliage, other pieces feature intricate design and beadwork, and some of the most striking objects actually look like miniature buildings. And despite the lux feel, much of the line is practical with just a touch of whimsy.

The wind is gently blowing on the goban. The stones don't seem to care. The game under analysis is: Go Seigen - Hashimoto Utaro played in 1957. This comes from the first set of shots I took with my new camera. I hope the pict is enjoyable. Onegaishimasu Ready to play. The game is different every time just as Go is.
