It is a pity that blitz renju tournaments are rarely held in real life. They mostly blitz on specialized sites. Such as, for example, renju.in But unfortunately in online tournaments there are often cases of dishonest play. After all, no one can control in such cases, the player himself makes moves, or uses the tips of special programs.
