Tarannikov opening rule

Tarannikov opening rule is a renju opening rule. It was offered by a Russian top-player and theoretician Yuri Tarannikov.

It has several enhancements, namely Taraguchi opening rule and Taraguchi-N opening rule.

This rule offers the best variety of playable variants in all canonical openings, but some players worry that it gives too great advantage to those players who can prepare sharp complicated 5-move patterns.
