The rules
A new puzzle comes out at midnight, your time. Everyone gets the same puzzle on the same date, and they are numbered from #1.
Every puzzle is a forced win. Each of your moves except the last makes a four, so the other side has to block, and the last one makes five. A wrong move costs a heart, and after three you’re done for the day.
When you finish you get a result to share: your hearts and your time, then a stone for each right move and a cross for each miss. The moves themselves aren’t in it, so nobody gets spoiled.
What is Gomoku?
Gomoku is a board game for two players, one with black stones and one with white. You take turns putting a stone on an empty point, usually on a board of 15 by 15 lines. The first to get five in a row, across, down or diagonally, wins. Black goes first.
Its origins are unclear, but the modern game took shape in Japan, where it is played with Go stones on a Go board. The name means roughly “five stones”. It is also called five in a row, gobang or caro. You can learn the rules in a minute, but winning takes some planning ahead. Most games are decided when one player makes two threats with one move and the other can only block one of them.
