The Traveling Board: Painting connects players

"At this year's U.S. Go Congress in San Diego, I had the pleasure of playing Steve Uhl from Sante Fe, NM (left in picture) in round 2 of the Open," writes Eric Wainwright (right). "We had a very close and exciting game.  Steve had also brought many of his go-related paintings he had created and was showing them to attendees outside the main playing hall.  I found one that would look perfect in my go room and bought it from him.  Steve and his family recently came up to Boulder, CO where we had a friendly rematch in my go room (with his painting overlooking).  And, as luck would have it, we had another close and exciting game."
