Heuristics in Gomoku refer to a set of guidelines or rules that can be used to evaluate the strength of a position on the board. These heuristics are based on common strategies and can be used to make informed decisions during the game.
By using heuristics, players can make more strategic and informed moves during the game. By evaluating the strength of a position based on these rules, players can make decisions that will put them in a better position to win the game. Additionally, heuristics can also be used to analyze and improve gameplay strategies over time.
