If you go first, this will work every time, If you don't go first, this will work most of the time.
Basically you want to make a triangle in 3 of the 4 corners like such:
Code:
_x_|___|_x_
___|___|___
x | |
Or:
Code:
_x_|___|_x_
___|___|___
| | x
Etc..
So now you have three(3) ways to win, and your opponent can only block 1!
This triangle method also works in other ways:
Code:
___|___|___
___|_x_|___
x | | x
Code:
___|___|___
___|_x_|___
x | x |
Now hopefully your a little better at tic-tac-toe
Random thread is random.. but epic.
That's great and all, unless the O blocks you from the beginning....

1.
Code:
___|___|___
___|___|___
x | o |
2.
Code:
_x_|___|___
___|___|___
x | o |
Now, o has to go in the middle-left to block you
3.
Code:
_x_|___|___
_o_|___|___
x | o |
4.
Code:
_x_|___|_x_
_o_|___|___
x | o |
Now o has to choose one spot to bock you
5.
Code:
_x_|_o_|_x_
_o_|___|___
x | o |
6.
Code:
_x_|_o_|_x_
_o_|_x_|___
x | o |
You win!

is a tie, but
So it depends on whether O places diagonally or not.
there was a game called nims or nimbles or something - it was pure cheating if u knew the rules
I mean if u are the only one who knows the rules according to your opponent you are unbeatable.. saw it on youtube on a podcast back in the day.. I just remembered it when I saw that tic-tac-toe thingy
