Gomoku Online
The goal of the game is to line up exactly 5 stones of your color in a continuous horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row on a 15x15 board. The first player has a significant advantage. To reduce this, we use a variant called "free-style Renju". This opening regulation means the first player places a black stone in the center, then white places a stone anywhere. On the next move, black can place their stone anywhere except the central 5x5 restricted area. After that, the game proceeds without restrictions.
How to play?
To play online with real players, as well as online bots, go to the "tables" tab, select a table that suits your parameters and join the game. You can also create your own gaming table with the desired settings by clicking the "create game" button. In training mode, you can play offline with yourself or with the computer. The more time you give the artificial intelligence to think, the better it will play. In addition, if the game is new to you and you want to understand what strategy and tactics to follow, you can choose a CPU vs. CPU game and watch the process.
Instant Moves
If it is obvious to you what your opponent should do next, and you already have an answer, you can, on your opponent's turn, continue the game by making moves for both your opponent and yourself to an unlimited depth. As long as your opponent's actual moves coincide with those you made on the board, your moves will be executed instantly without losing time. If you also predicted the subsequent moves correctly, they will also be executed instantly. If your opponent's move differs from the predicted one, the position will be updated, and you will simply continue the game as usual. To cancel planned moves, simply click on an empty space on the board, or make an illegal move.
