Gomoku Online Basic Rules
Playing Gomoku Online is simple but needs smart thinking. Players take turns placing stones on grid lines. The 15x15 board has 225 cross points for stone placement. Remember these key rules: Only one stone per turn, no moving placed stones, and five-in-row must be exact - six stones don't count as win. Watch for illegal moves that might give penalty.
Winning Conditions
To win in Gomoku Online, make unbroken line of five same-color stones. Lines can go any direction but must be straight. If both players reach five stones same turn, game checks who completed first. Some game versions use "overlines" rule where six stones invalidate win - check settings before starting match.
Common Mistakes
New players often forget to block opponents while making own lines. Always check all directions after each move. Don't focus only on one area - good players watch whole board. Avoid putting stones too close to edges early game. Remember opponent can use your stones as part of their line if not careful.
Gomoku Online Advanced Tips
Master Gomoku Online with these pro strategies. Balance attacking and defending - don't just chase five stones. Good players create multiple possible winning lines at same time. Use board edges to limit opponent's moves. Control center area for maximum expansion options. Learn special patterns like "fork" moves that create two threats.
Defensive Tactics
Always watch opponent's stone patterns. Block any four-stone lines immediately. Place your stones between opponent's stones to break connections. Use "double block" technique by putting stone where two lines cross. Remember defense needs same attention as attack - count potential threats every turn.
Attack Methods
Build three-stone lines with open ends for future expansion. Create "live four" situations (four stones with both ends open). Use feint moves to trick opponents into wrong blocks. Combine vertical and diagonal patterns for surprise attacks. Practice making quick decisions under time pressure in ranked matches.
