How To Beat Tic Tac Toe
By Inspirare
After spending nearly an hour on this quest and getting most of my games to a draw..

Here is the workaround I found:
1) go here: http://www.javascripter.net/games/xo/xo.htm
2) select size 10 on field, hit new game
3) make a first move as if you are an opponent X (back in game opponent moves first)
4) use O to counter robot moves back in the game
---
so back the app - you place moves on behalf of your opponent with X's and back in game replicate moves with O's

AI to beat the AI

Worked from the first try for me

hot damn, no download, no website crashing, just simply click, follow the robot, and back and forth until you realize its already done.

It's actually really easy to beat it with a speedrunner strat? Just make a cross, first the outer sections clockise, then the center (if the opponent blocks it, just start making it again and watch for almost-formed lines of theirs), and then whatever direction that is not blocked from two sides. Wins every time.

You don't even have to do this to win Tic Tac Toe. All I have done is using Knight move (L move) to beat the Robot. AI in this game wasn't script to counter that.

I can 't believe this actually works, thanks for preventing me from wanting to smash my head against a wall. I spent hours trying to beat that part, hours. Who knew all it took was a better computer to win against a computer.
