Play Gomoku Tips

Strategies to play smarter and score higher

  • Control the center of the board for maximum flexibility.
  • Build open-ended threats that force the opponent to block multiple lines.
  • Watch for both your own four-in-a-row threats and your opponent's.
  • Create forks where you threaten to win in two places at once.
  • Do not overextend; solid groups are better than scattered stones.
  • Study common opening patterns like the double three.
