Abstract
A retainer for the game of Go so configured that when the retainer is secured over a board on which a game is in progress, each stone on the board is constrained to remain in its proper position. Retention means are provided for holding the retainer and the playing board together reliably so that they can be moved about, placed on edge for storage, etc., as may be convenient. Integral means are provided for indicating which side has the next turn, the color and the net number of the captured stones, and the intersection, if any, on which immediate play is forbidden because of an active "ko".
