Abstract--In this project, we combine AlphaGo algorithm with Curriculum Learning to crack the game of Gomoku. Modifications like Double Networks Mechanism and Winning Value Decay are implemented to solve the intrinsic asymmetry and short-sight of Gomoku. Our final AI AlphaGomoku, through two days' training on a single GPU, has reached humans' playing level. Free style Gomoku is an interesting strategy board game with quite simple rules: two players alternatively place black and white stones on a board with 15 by 15 grids and winner is the one who first reach a line of consecutive five or more stones of his or her color. It is popular among students since it can be played simply with a piece of paper and a pencil to kill the boring class time. It is also popular among computer scientists since Gomoku is a natural playground for many artificial intelligence algorithms.
