If X is not a perfect player, X may take 2 or 3 as a second move. Then this game will be a draw, X cannot win.

In the 1983 science-fiction film WarGames, global thermonuclear war is described as similar to tic-tac-toe, in that if all sides engage in full-scale use of their arsenals with the most effective strategies possible, no side will actually win. On The Price Is Right, several national variants feature a pricing game called "Secret X", in which players must guess prices of two small prizes to win Xs (in addition to one free X) to place on a blank board. They must place the Xs in position to guess the location of the titular "secret X" hidden in the center column of the board and form a tic-tac-toe line horizontally (across) or diagonally (no vertical lines allowed). There are no Os in this variant of the game. Once more, the ideal course of action to take when a game of tic tac toe begins is to grab a corner as soon as possible. Because there are so many potential methods to guarantee a win when you start there, it’s the move that you should do. As the game goes on, you can benefit from fewer options in other places. In 1952, OXO (or Noughts and Crosses), developed by British computer scientist Sandy Douglas for the EDSAC computer at the University of Cambridge, became one of the first known video games. [13] [14] The computer player could play perfect games of tic-tac-toe against a human opponent. [13]

Bolinger (1972, 1986) argued that the most informative words in a sentence receive an accent and some version of this view has been used to understand differences in accent type (e.g. Pierrehumbert & Hirschberg, 1990) as well as the ways in which prominence signals the information structure of a sentence (e.g. Gussenhoven, 1983; Selkirk, 1996; Schwarszchild, 1999). The word “violin” in (1b) receives an accent because, as the answer to the question in (1a), it is the most important part of the sentence. Parker, Marla (1995). She Does Math!: Real-life Problems from Women on the Job. Mathematical Association of America. p.153. ISBN 978-0-88385-702-1.

Importance and predictability might be two aspects of the same phenomenon. Information that is predictable tends to be less important and information that is not predictable tends to be more important ( Shannon, 1951). Our primary goal is to explore whether these factors are really two aspects of the same thing or whether one or both of these factors contribute independently to the acoustic realization of a word.

The game is used as a pedagogical tool, improve concentration, build the competitive sport spirit and develops intelligence of players.

Mendelson, Elliott (2016). Introducing Game Theory and its Applications. CRC Press. p.19. ISBN 978-1-4822-8587-1. These results suggest that both importance and predictability play a role in the acoustic realization of a word. Duration is longer and pitch movement is greater for non-predictable words while intensity is greater for important words.

There is no universally agreed rule as to who plays first, but in this article the convention that X plays first is used. Dahan D, Tanenhaus MK, Chambers CG.

[ Google Scholar] A player can play a perfect game of tic-tac-toe (to win or at least draw) if, each time it is their turn to play, they choose the first available move from the following list, as used in Newell and Simon's 1972 tic-tac-toe program.

[ Google Scholar] Tic-tac-toe ( American English), noughts and crosses ( Commonwealth English), or Xs and Os ( Canadian or Irish English) is a paper-and-pencil game for two players who take turns marking the spaces in a three-by-three grid with X or O. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner. It is a solved game, with a forced draw assuming best play from both players.

[ Google Scholar] In 1975, tic-tac-toe was also used by MIT students to demonstrate the computational power of Tinkertoy elements. The Tinkertoy computer, made out of (almost) only Tinkertoys, is able to play tic-tac-toe perfectly. [15] It is currently on display at the Museum of Science, Boston.
