Based on the rule here, it says "5 or more" ... I am in a game right now that the opponent has a chance to place 6 in a row ... but he/she hasn't do it yet ...

Hi,
5inLine is based on gomoku/renju games, and there is standard "black begins" in these games. Is it a big problem to set black color for the player whith the first move?

I've never had trouble winning with 6 in a roll:o)

Well:
"When the players got stronger they found that playing with "completely free" rules was in great favour of Black (the beginner of the game). It is also proved that there is a sure win for Black when playing with "completely free" rules."
(from http://www.renju.nu/r1rulhis.htm)
The rule "no-more-then-five for black" is one of "black" restrictions in renju.

Yes, I understand that, all I'm saying is I've never had trouble winning with 6 in-a-roll and yes it is alot easier to win in the very beginning of the game than it is in the middle or at the end. If the game goes on too long, its harder to win and the game drags on, but I guess thats what you get for not winning in the first place. LOL

ok ... I just lost a game ... 6 in a row does win here !

See, I told you :op LOL 6 in a roll does win, it only makes sence, if five wins it, one more can't hurt LOL

it does not give you a win in Its Your Turn!!

According to the rules of go-moku, over-lines (6 or more in a row) do not count. But this is not official go-moku here...yet :-)

Hi.

About the colors (I agree with you, I prefer black & white myself, for the same reasons)
Go to Settings. Click on Five In Line. There, you'll see two rows, first small, the one under is bigger. Each row has two choices, it's hard to see but possible. First circle is a click box, then the two 'stones' (x & o), then another circle, white dot and black dot. So, you click in the FOURTH thingy.. LOL Does that make sense? ;)

hi all, anyone know this: I finished and won 2 games, why my rating doesn't appear ? ( as you see, SonAnh still unrated )

you need to finish at least 4 games for a rating.. and then it is still considered provisional until you finish 25 ....

oh thanks lovelysharon, you are lovely :-), but what they consider then ?that am I a provisional player to rate me or what?

after initial 4 games you get provisional BKR rating then after 25 games you have an established BKR rating... .. and thanks... :)

the moku rules so strange, more than 5 stones can win too, never seen it before! that was so lucky that I took a look at these rules, lolz...

If you notice, it isn't go-moku...it's Five in Line...

five in line is different from six in line, and different from five or more in line too, so dont look at the name of game, I'm just sayin' about the rules

I think it should be changed, you're really only supposed to place 5 pieces. In fact, as many players know who play at other sites, one of a players DEFENSES is to force a sixth piece placement, since it is not a win.On the other hand, i believe i have only won a handful of games w/ 6 pieces, it doesn't really happen all that often.

:-) just discussions coz we cant change anything. But I think 6 not win is more better coz a game will be more complicated and...

I asked Fencer for new game - Pro gomoku (just 5 in line, pro rules).

Is Pro GoMoku have the same rules as Renju?

No, Pro moku is different, Pro moku rules are the same as normal moku but the second white piece must be placed at least 3 rows from the first one

Renju has restrictions about types of wins doesn't it like double 3's etc?

Anyone who would like to play 5 wins match with pro gomoku rules? Invite me..

Yep, double 3's wouldnt win and you cant make 3x3 but 3x4.

good evening all..how is everyone? :) hope everyone is staying cool or at least cooler than i am...109 here today...want fried eggs just crack em on the sidewalk lol

Where are 5-in-line 23xx nicks ? why I dont see any1 in here.

what are you referring to in regards to 23xx nicks? are you looking for someone in particular?

I get the impression from the disussions here that, given best play, white will always win? Is this so? Thanks.

Yes. As I believe have allready been pointed out earlier in this forum, there is proof of a sure win for the starting party of the game. This without any restrictions; sad but true. Therefor if equal conditions are valued one should preferably play a game like pro gomoku or, if one gets the chance to, renju.

this was a problem in checkers, i recall, and in high level games, the first move or something is chosen by lot.
someone mentioned white having to play his second move three rows from the first. does this resolve the difficulty?

Lonestar73: I'm just interesting.
Re: Does white...:Yes,your impression is so rite, that call surewin,something like we've discused but nothing funny starting play using that open.
Kacper, look at the way you piece 5in line is so perfect, but never seen you been here,opine something babie :-)

good evening....hope all is great for everyone :)
