SGF is an established format for board-game records, with a game identifier for Gomoku and Renju. We use SGF FF[4], GM[4], a 15 × 15 board and UTF-8 text, compressed with gzip.
Our open profile defines the Freestyle rules, coordinates, Elo ratings, timestamps and per-move time limit. Use a reader that supports Gomoku; a Go-only reader may interpret the rules differently.
