AI Technical Summary
When beginners, children, and disabled people practice Go, the placement of Go pieces is likely to deviate from the grid point, and the Go pieces on the board are easily disturbed.
A honeycomb Go board is designed, and a circular groove is carved at the intersection of each grid line, which is suitable for putting in or taking out a normal single-sided Go piece. The Go piece will not move or fall when the board is tilted by 45 degrees.
Ensure that the Go pieces are placed clearly, avoid deviation from the intersection of grid lines, and improve the resistance of Go pieces to disturbances.

Abstract
Description
Honeycomb Go board Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sports equipment, in particular to Go board equipment. Background Art
[0002] A Go board is one of the necessary equipment for Go activities. The surface of a Go board is usually flat. The surface of a Go board used by the blind has a raised grid. Common numbers of grid lines on the board are 9×9, 13×13, and 19×19. Technical issues
[0003] When practicing Go, beginners, children, and people with disabilities often encounter problems such as pieces being placed off the grid and easily disturbed. Existing magnetic Go boards offer some protection against magnetic pieces, but they don't address the problem of pieces being placed off the grid. To address these issues, I propose a honeycomb Go board. Technical Solutions
[0004] .The purpose of this application is to provide a honeycomb Go board to solve the problems of Go pieces being placed away from the grid points and Go pieces on the board being easily disturbed when beginners, children and disabled people practice Go.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: a honeycomb-type Go board, in which a circular groove is engraved at each grid line intersection position on the board with the grid line intersection as the center, and grid lines are drawn on the circular groove. A circular groove is suitable for placing or taking out an ordinary single-sided Go piece, and tilting the board 45 degrees will not cause the Go piece in the circular groove to move or fall. Beneficial effects
[0006] 1. In this application, the player places the Go piece into the circular groove, with the placement clearly defined and not deviating from the intersection of the grid lines;
[0007] 2. In this application, ordinary single-sided Go pieces on the chessboard are anti-disturbance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the front structure of a 13×13 honeycomb Go chessboard according to Example 1 of the present application;
[0009] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a 13×13 honeycomb Go board along the grid lines in Example 1 of the present application. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0010] A common wooden Go board, 47cm long, 44cm wide, and 2cm thick, was modified by widening the grid lines on one side of the 13×13 grid from 2.3cm to 2.7cm. A circular groove was machined at each intersection, centered at that point. Grid lines were then redrawn within the groove, creating a 2.3cm diameter and 0.15cm depth suitable for inserting and removing a common single-sided Go piece, 2.2cm in diameter and 0.55cm thick. Even if the board is tilted 45 degrees, the piece will not move or fall out of the groove. This creates a 13×13 honeycomb Go board. Industrial Applicability
[0011] An ordinary wooden Go board with a 19×19 regular surface on one side and a 13×13 honeycomb surface on the other side. The Go pieces are universal and can help beginners, children, and people with disabilities practice Go using the honeycomb surface. Sequence Listing Free Content
[0012] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions of the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made to the Go board within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
Claims
1. Honeycomb Go board, characterized in that: At each intersection position of the grid lines on the Go board, there is a circular groove centered on the intersection of the grid lines, and one circular groove is suitable for placing or taking out an ordinary single-sided Go piece.
2. Honeycomb Go board, characterized in that: When the player places the Go piece into the circular groove on the board, the position of the Go piece is clear and resistant to disturbance after leaving the hand.
