About Gomoku

How Gomoku is played

Players alternately place stones on the intersections of a 15 × 15 grid; Black moves first. Stones are never moved or captured. The first player to make an unbroken line of five — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — wins immediately.

The whole game is about building 'open threes' and 'fours' that threaten two lines at once. Blocking one end of an open three too late is the classic beginner's loss; blocking early and building your own double threat is how games are won.
