What are the basic rules of Go?

Go is played by two players (black and white) who take turns placing stones on intersections. Black goes first. The goal is to surround more territory. Stones are captured when completely surrounded (no liberties). The game ends when both players pass, and the winner is determined by territory plus captured stones.

What is the difference between Go and Gomoku?

While both use black and white stones, they are completely different games. Go aims to control territory with complex concepts like captures, ko, and liberties. Gomoku aims to connect five stones in a row. Go is considered one of the most complex board games ever invented.
