Abstract Strategy
Renju
A Japanese five-in-a-row game played on a 15×15 board, with rules designed to balance the advantage of the first player. The opening uses a special stone-placement and side-selection procedure. Black must avoid creating two open threes, two open fours, or a row of six or more stones, while White has no such restrictions. The first player to form five stones in a row wins.
