The yellow atypical color of these stones offers the best possible visual result: the soft pale yellow and depth of the black stones allows an unprecedented reading of the game for the pleasure of the eyes.
In addition to offering crisp contrast on the board and improving the vision of the developing game, it is possible to put the stones in the mouth to study the variants or alternatives of positioning the stones, as is done in Chinese schools, without losing the initial configuration of the game.
