Go Spotting: Art Institute of Chicago

I have searched high and low for any mention of go at the Art Institute of Chicago, and I've finally found one (or two). Go is seen being played in two Chinese scrolls in the new exhibition "As the Story Unrolls." It's interesting to note that the board dimensions in these scenes appear to be 25x17. I'm curious if anyone knows if this was just the artist's choice, or if this was actually the standard size of the time?
If you want to see the scrolls they are at the Art Institute of Chicago in Gallery 134, but time is running out. They are only on view through December 3, 2017.
