Black starts in the center, with overlines and double threats forbidden; no tournament opening.
THE ESSENTIALS
How to Play
- Renju with friendly opening: black in the center, then free placement. Tournament opening with proposals and color choice is not used.
- Black wins with exactly five stones, White with five or more. Black may not make a line of six, a double-four, or two real open threes, unless they achieve five at the same time.
- False threes whose extension would be forbidden do not count as open threes. Forbidden moves are rejected by the server in this learning version, instead of losing on a foul.
- Pass is possible after the first three placements; two consecutive passes or a full board with no winner result in a draw.
