Gomoku has a new rules.

Thank you so much! What rules will be played 18 Championship ?

New rules.

thankz RM

A 5-move pie rule should keep everyone happy, I'd hope. And I'm glad to see the 'pass first' victory implemented too. Thanks Richard! (This reminds me to fix RoRoRo, he's not entirely sure what 'variants' are currently.)

Thanks Richard! It's a perfect change! :D :D :D

I like pie rule ,but I don`t like no-draw(pass) rule.

Is passing on Move 1 a viable strategy?

I am confused about the swap rule in this game. I note for example in game

http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1321455

that kapato as white played 1.e5 but it is a black stone? Then his opponent swapped, making it a black stone? The color did not change?

How does swap work for more than one stone on the first move? Do the colors switch?

The players switch colour.

I'm confused, too! In this game my opponent put an even number of stones into the game. Now, when I try to make a move, I'm putting a black stone, event though I'm white. Does that mean I'm playing my opponents stones? Should I make a 5 stones row and then my opponent wins?

during the first 2 moves your 'player colour' does not reflect the stones you are playing, as this isn't yet decided. playing 'white' merely means you make the second move, which means you decide whether to swap or not. if you decide not to, you instead place a black stone if the other player 'dealt' an even number of stones, or a white one if it was an odd number. on the next move player colour will reflect the colour of stones you are playing.

eg

"I'm putting a black stone, event though I'm white."

on your next move your player colour will be adjusted to black. if you want to play white, swap.

does anyone know how I claim victory by passing all remaining moves? there is no such option for me. I am forced to either keep playing or resign.

1. There were mistake in determine player color after first move. Now it is all right.

@Aganju: Keep playing and system recognize when you could passing all remaining stones.
