Renju (Japanese: 連珠) is the professional variant of Gomoku, a strategyboard game originating in Japan from the Heian period. It was named Renju by Japanese journalist Ruikou Kuroiwa (黒岩涙香) on December 6, 1899 in a Japanese newspaper Yorozu chouhou (萬朝報). The game is played with black and white stones on a 15x15 gridded Go board.

Renju eliminates the 'Perfect Win' situation in Gomoku by adding special conditions for the first player (Black).

Rules

Opening rules

Unlike Gomoku, Renju has a unique sequence of opening moves called an 'opening rule'. There are several certified opening rules. The list of requirements for new opening rules as approved by the RIF General Assembly in 2003 was:

I. Traditions

• The basic Renju rules must be kept.
• The opening stage must not exceed 5 moves.
• All 26 canonical openings must be possible and only 26 canonical openings can be possible.
• All present realistic variants must be possible.
• The moves located very closely near the edges of a board during the opening stage are not preferable.

II. Simplicity and attraction

• New rules must be simple to study.
• New rules must be simple to play for beginners. The situation when in significant part of cases a beginner will have the lost position already after the first 5 moves is not good.
• The rules must be systematic and attractive.

III. Creativity

• The number of possible creative variants must be significantly greater than now. These variants must be achieved under the optimal strategy of both players.
• The chances of sides to win must be practically equal.
• The situation when during the opening stage the player who make a move does not interested in the forming of equal and creative position is not preferable. (Example: indirect 2nd move in previous opening rules).
• The rules must give the chance for both players to avoid the position after the opening stage well known for the opponent.
• The knowledge of theory and deep own analyses must give an advantage but the player with a good imagination must have chances against this.

An example of such opening rule (namely 'RIF opening rule') follows.

1. The first player places 2 black stones and 1 white stone on the board thus forming opening pattern.
2. The second player now chooses whether to play black or white.
3. White then places one more stone on the board.
4. Black places 2 stones on the board.
5. White removes one of the two black stones from the previous move.
6. White places a white stone.

After this sequence is complete, Black and White continue to take turns to place their stones.

The Extra General Assembly of Renju International Federation in 2008 created three new sets of rules for openings that are to replace the above old sequence of moves: Soosõrv, Taraguchi, and Yamaguchi. Also a rejection system for their use was approved. The General Assembly of Renju International Federation in 2009 certified Sakata opening rule as proposed by Russia. The General Assembly of Renju International Federation in 2011 certified modified opening rules such as Taraguchi-N and Soosõrv-N.

• Double four - Black cannot place a stone that builds two separate lines with four black stones in a row.
• Overline - six or more black stones in a row.

• getting five (or more) white stones in a row
• forcing Black to make a forbidden move (see above).
