The subject pretty much says it all. Is there a version of the board game Pente, either in PD or commercial? I am interested in a version with a computer player and one or more human players. Thanks, Rob P.S. For those who don't know, Pente is very much like Go, only there is a stipulation where pairs of stones can be removed from the board.

Actually, I believe you mean that Pente is very much like Go-Moku. The game of Go has very little to do with getting stones in a row. Unfortunately, I don't know of any version of either Go-moku or Pente.
