I don't want to undermine the work of the researchers because they did a good one with a solid protocol.

But the problem to me is the specification, basically one of the tasks was : "design a basic Gomoku game". Which implies a set of pre-existing rules, something already known and well documented on the web. For example on github you can find 1.2k repos in python with the tag 'Gomoku'.

In a company you will be less likely asked to code a Gomoku from scratch, maybe for an interview, at most.

So in my POV, it's just code synthesis from already existing stuff. And reviewed.

I think my job is safe.
