Gomoku — Five in a Row

Gomoku is a casual strategy classic: take turns placing stones on a 15×15 board and be the first to line up five in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You play black and move first; the computer plays white. Pick a difficulty and try to outsmart it.

Your turn — place a black stone. AI:

How to play
