Big changes in Gomoku and Rendžus

Hello, We have good news for gomoku lovers - in cooperation with the Estonian Rendžuliitud, we decided to introduce the following changes in Vint: 1) Starting today, gomoku with color change will be played with the Swap2 opening rule. Swap2 is an internationally recognized opening rule, which will allow Vint to organize international gomoku tournaments in the future. 2) We eliminated the separate Taraguchi Rendžu game. Starting today, we have one game - Rendžu, which is played with the Taraguchi opening rule. Until today, Rendžu used the Swap1 opening rule, which is not played much in the rest of the world. Best wishes, Vint.ee Team

The wise throw a few pieces...what does this opening mean?

Figaro, the rules for both games state which opening part is regulated - https://www.vint.ee/gomoku-info-ja-reeglid/. In both games, an attempt has been made to find a good way to balance, or eliminate black's dominance, without making it too complicated.

Yesterday, more bugs came out in Pentium, so - test, test! Refresh whenever possible and make sure everything continues to work.

Yesterday another error came out - the tournament table was displayed incorrectly with the color-changing gomokus (and Rendžus). I posted the correction today. Please report any errors!

From today, the follow-up of gomoku and Renju should also be significantly better - you can see all the moves related to the color change and you can follow exactly who did what during the opening. But all of this applies to games played starting today. The follow-up of games played until yesterday remains incomplete - there was nothing to do there: there was not enough information saved in the database with the move.
