GOMOKU RULE

1. Play alternates between one player who starts the game (called Black because he is playing with black stones) and another player (usually called White because he is playing with white stones).


2. When there are THREE moves on the board, the tentative white player can choose to swap side.


3. The first player to get an unbroken line of five stones whether vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, wins the game.


4. Overline (six or more in a row) is not considered as a win (or loss) for both sides.
