Stuck mid-game? We'll take it from here.
Go-Go-Gomoku is a free Gomoku (five-in-a-row) helper. You're playing
someone else — an online bot, a friend, whoever — and this is your corner-man: tell it the
position, and it tells you the strongest move, every turn, with a plain-language reason.
You don't have to start from move one. Already deep in a game? Upload a
screenshot of the board and it reads the stones for you, or rebuild the position by hand in
a few taps. Then it plays out the rest of the game at your shoulder.
Three ways in
- Master Match — play live from the very first move.
- Photo Help — upload a screenshot of a game in progress and continue from there.
- No Photo Helper — rebuild the board by hand, then hand off.
Questions people ask
- Can I get help in the middle of a Gomoku game?
-
Yes — that's what this is built for. Choose Photo Help to upload a screenshot of the
board, line up the grid, and let it read the stones; or choose No Photo Helper to place
the stones by hand. Either way you tell it which colour you are, and it takes over from
that exact position.
- Is Go-Go-Gomoku free?
-
Completely free. There's no account to create, no paywall, no ads, and no limit on how
many moves you ask about. There's an optional tip jar if you want to support it, and
that's all.
- Is my game private?
-
Yes. The engine runs entirely inside your browser, so your board and your screenshots
never leave your device — screenshots are read locally and never uploaded to a server.
- Which Gomoku rules does it use?
-
Freestyle Gomoku on a 15×15 board: five or more in a row wins, overlines of six or more
also count, Black moves first, and there are no forbidden moves or opening restrictions.
- How strong is the engine?
-
It plays at a strong level by calculation, not guesswork: it evaluates every standard
shape, searches ahead with alpha-beta and iterative deepening, and runs a dedicated
threat solver that finds forced wins by continuous fours and threats (VCF/VCT). When a
forced win exists it will play into it and tell you how many moves it takes.
- Does it work offline or on my phone?
-
Yes. After your first visit the site works with no internet connection. On iPhone or
Android you can add it to your home screen from the browser menu to run it full-screen
like an app, and there are also downloadable Windows and Android versions.
- Does it play against me?
-
No — it's on your side. You're playing someone else. You enter what your opponent plays,
and it tells you what to play back.
