How To Win In Tic-Tac-Toe

[nevets04]

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

[Etheryte]

Like I said

Code:

_|_|_
_|_|_
x|_|_

Code:

_|_|_
_|o|_
x|_|_

Code:

_|_|x
_|o|_
x|_|_

Code:

_|o|x
_|o|_
x|_|_

Code:

_|o|x
_|o|_
x|x|_

Code:

_|o|x
_|o|_
x|x|o

is a tie, but

Code:

_|_|_
_|_|_
x|_|_

Code:

_|_|_
_|o|_
x|_|_

Code:

_|_|x
_|o|_
x|_|_

Code:

o|_|x
_|o|_
x|_|_

Code:

o|_|x
_|o|_
x|_|x

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
