Why so complicated?  Why not just:
  type Go_Board is array(integer range <>,integer range <>) of Stone;
  This_Board : Go_Board(1 .. 19, 1 .. 19);
  That_Board : Go_Board(1 .. 13, 1 .. 13);
then directly access the array instead of getStone, and use
This_Board'length(1) instead of getHeight and This_Board'length(2) for getWidth.
