Winning Strategies

🎯 Control the Center

The center square is part of 4 out of 8 possible winning combinations. Taking it early gives you more winning opportunities and limits your opponent's options.

🛡️ Block Your Opponent

Always watch for your opponent's two-in-a-row and block them. Prevention is better than trying to create your own winning line.

⚡ Create Forks

A fork is when you create two winning threats at once. Your opponent can only block one, guaranteeing your victory on the next move.

🔄 Corner Strategy

Corners are powerful positions. If the center is taken, corners offer the next best opportunities for creating winning combinations.

AI Difficulty Levels Explained

😊
Easy Mode

The AI makes completely random moves. Perfect for beginners learning the game or young children. You should win most games if you play strategically.

🤔
Medium Mode

The AI makes optimal moves 50% of the time and random moves 50% of the time. This creates an unpredictable opponent that's challenging but beatable. Great for intermediate players.

🔥
Hard Mode

The AI uses the minimax algorithm to always make the optimal move. It's mathematically impossible to beat when it plays perfectly - the best you can achieve is a draw! This mode is excellent for learning perfect strategy.
