This image captures a moment from a Hololive VTuber stream, specifically a Gomoku (Five-in-a-Row) tournament.The match features Ichijou Ririka (playing Black, on the left) versus Otonose Kanade (playing White, on the right). Other Hololive members, like Shirakami Fubuki and Sakura Miko, are visible as commentators in the corners.What is "Wrong" with the Game?The game has currently flagged a move as forbidden, which is indicated by the red "no" symbol ($\oslash$) and the text at the bottom of the board: "先手の四四は禁じ手です" (The first player's 4-4 is a forbidden move).Here is the breakdown of why that move is blocked:The Rule (Renju/Gomoku): In competitive Gomoku (often called Renju), the first player (Black) has a significant mathematical advantage. To balance the game, several restrictions are placed on Black. One of these is the Double Four (4x4) rule.The Foul: Black is attempting to place a stone on the intersection marked with the red symbol. If Black plays there, it would simultaneously create two separate lines of four stones.Vertical Line: There are two black stones above the spot and one below. Placing a stone there creates a row of 4.Diagonal Line: There are two black stones to the upper-right and one to the lower-left. Placing a stone there creates another row of 4.The Result: Because Black would create two "fours" at the same time, the game considers this an illegal move for the first player to prevent them from forcing an unstoppable win.Summary of the SceneThe "problem" isn't a glitch; it's a specific rule of the game being enforced. Ichijou Ririka (Black) likely didn't realize she was building into a forbidden move, and now she is stuck because she cannot play in that optimal-looking spot.Would you like me to explain the other forbidden moves for the first player in Gomoku, such as the "Double Three" or "Overline" rules?
