What are the rules of tic tac toe?
Two players take turns marking X and O on a 3x3 grid. The first player to get three of their marks in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins. If all nine squares are filled and no one has three in a row, the game ends in a draw.
How can I win at tic tac toe?

How smart is the AI opponent?
