    Default gomoku book...

    I have written a small book on go-moku (ancient japanese game) using ZBrush too.
    It's freeware. It's in italian, but it's very simple and it has more than 400 diagrams...
    Here is the link:

    triztan: the gomoku is played in a gobang, but it's very differet from go. The go players usually play gomoku to relax...

    Default Pente is a variation

    Before I knew about Go or Gomoku, as a kid I used to play Pente. It's the same idea as Gomoku with extra rules about being able to capture pairs, and being able to win by capturing 5 pairs. It's a really fun version of the game!

    Is this pdf rendered in zbrush too? it looks great!

    Talking Hi Cameyo!

    In french GOMOKU = "morpion" very well known by students

    As Go an Pente player I must say that Renju has curiously rules more difficult to remember than the 2 other

    I have seen in Paris Master LIM , he has writen also Gomoku's/ Renju books and of course Go games books!
    It's this man who make Go popular in France



    He is invincible at these games for normal french players

    Photos of Go players


    Your book is very well documented and realised
    I will play Gomoku (training with the programs that you give in your book
    Saturday night Fiver6 seems terrific! (Play Gomoku / Renju)
    (and his pinky banner has very delicious style)

    Ps Have you a rating level in Go Game?

    The best free game for play (fun and training) Go in 9*9 IgoWin
    (very very speed) If you win against 2 stones of handicap you are near a master player level
    (of course normal Go is on 19*19 Goban but this IgoWin has strictly sames rules ! Perfect for fighting tacticle less for the strategy not enough place )

    You have try to code a Go game
    I have made in the past just a Go Ban in Excel without macrommand! ( a task ( I was young and fresh brain
    Some funny to realise but for a real game it's another thing

    Default thanks

    Thank you all!

    Frenchy: Fiver is one of the best (with Blackstone and GORO).
    Making a program to play Go is a life-project...i have played GO with igowin and TheManyFacesOfGO...but it's a very complex game. I have two books on Go and more than 100 books on chess (my preferite game).

    Thanks for viewing

    Thumbs up Fiver6 is terrific!

    For the moment I have just win one game at the first level in very speed blitz Gomoku play
    (with blake) (Renjou mode is not for me, only for japaness or chiness people
    I am not enough stoic
    Have you some statistics of the Gomoku result Blake / White ?
    I must read your book with more attention for progress
    Fiver6 and careful to the nervous break down
    Pente is also a cool game (10.4 for windows different variant)

    Go a very complex game
    yes but very easy to learn!
    Against chess it has very simple rules
    After it's an another story
    (I am also cool chess player)

    Avantage GO against Chess
    Easy to learn rules (five minutes)
    Constructive
    You are not oblige to "kill" for win
    You can't make null match
    At the end of the party you can see all the design party
    A very cool handicap system
    An aesthetic furniture
    etc...(ok I am partial

    Have fun Go playing!

    Many free stones games here
