Richard-Once you can do it

I have 100% wins with black in Gomoku. It is not normal. Do not change the rules to swap 2. This would attract a large number of players. I think that if you do not change the rules is half the players go away from this site, it's very disappointing. Please make SWAP 2.

Anatolij's amazing record certainly brings doubt to the fairness of the littlegolem rules. The swap 2 rule seems like a good rule.

I cut and pasted this from a website:

Gomoku - swap2 rule

- The first player puts 2 black and 1 white stones anywhere on the board.

- The second player has 3 options: - stay with white,

- swap,

- put 2 more stones and let the opponent choose the colour

It was long time ago, back in 2005-06, but I won four times against Anatolij and one of them was with white. István Virág (who is, as I have heard, one of the best players in the world) also defeated Anatolij with white several times. So there was a time when it was not impossible to win against Anatolij with white.

Nevertheless, Anatolij's proposal makes perfect sense, if Swap2 is implemented then I might actually resume playing Gomoku.

I meant the last 100 games, not the whole story. And then I played even

not knowing that the 6 stones win:).

i propose first move be decided by one throw of rock-paper-scissors (roshambo).

"...due to the unnecessary complexity of (rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock) the World RPS Society continues to outlaw its use..." Douglas And Graham Walker, 'The Official Rock Paper Scissors Strategy Guide' Fireside 2004.

This game, in 2008, seems to be the last time Anatolij didn't win as black

This is my clone :)
