Gomoku
Play Gomoku in the browser against easy, normal, and hard AI, with normal already requiring solid practice and hard being tough to beat casually.
Board
You play black and move first. Click an intersection to place a stone; the first side to connect five wins.
How It Works
Difficulty & Levels
Normal already covers open-threes, forcing-fours, and routine defense. Most players need some repetition before beating it consistently.
Match Info
Score combines difficulty, result, and efficiency. Wins on normal and hard are worth much more.

Controls
Gomoku uses standard alternating placement. The AI replies automatically at the chosen difficulty.
Opening around the center and key diagonals usually gives you more leverage than drifting to the edges too early.
Normal already reads open-threes, forcing-fours, and routine defense. It is no longer just a casual sparring bot.
Hard pushes double threats and forcing attacks more often, so one missed defensive move can end the game quickly.
If the AI has not replied yet, undo removes only your latest move. Otherwise it rewinds the full exchange.
