The rule of "swap after 1st move" is a variant of the freestyle gomoku rule, and is mostly played in China. The game can be played on a 19×19 or 15×15 board. As per the rule, once the first player places a black stone on the board, the second player has the right to swap colors. The rest of the game proceeds as freestyle gomoku.
Renju has its origins in gomoku and therefore shares most of its rules. There are two key differences between these games, however.

Pente is an abstract strategy board game for two or more players, created in 1977 by Gary Gabrel. [1] [2] A member of the m,n,k game family, Pente stands out for its custodial capture mechanic, which allows players to "sandwich" pairs of stones and capture them by flanking them on either side.
An abstract strategy game is a board, card or other game where game play does not simulate a real world theme, and a player's decisions affect the outcome.Many abstract strategy games are also combinatorial, i.e. they provide perfect information, and rely on neither physical dexterity nor random elements such as rolling dice or drawing cards or tiles.
An m,n,k-game is an abstract board game in which two players take turns in placing a stone of their color on an m-by-n board, the winner being the player who first gets k stones of their own color in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. [1] [2] Thus, tic-tac-toe is the 3,3,3-game and free-style gomoku is the 15,15,5-game.
