🎮 How to play Tictactoe

The game starts with an empty 3×3 grid. The first player (traditionally X) places their mark in any empty square. The second player (O) then places their mark in any remaining empty square. The players alternate turns until one player achieves a ‘three-in-a-row’ and wins. If all nine squares are filled and no player has three in a row, the game is a draw (or ‘cat’s game’).

💡 Tips and Tricks for Tictactoe

The first player should always take the center square. This gives you the most possible winning lines. If you cannot take the center, take a corner. If your opponent takes the center, take a corner. The key strategy is to create a ‘fork’ (a situation where you have two different ways to win on your next turn). This is the only way to guarantee a win if your opponent plays correctly. It is a game of pure logic, just like the foundations of Master Chess.

• Always block your opponent’s ‘two-in-a-row’ immediately.
• If you cannot win, play to a draw. Do not let your opponent get a fork.
• The corner squares are strategically more valuable than the edge squares.
