If that surgeon can't force a cat's game then I don't want him operating on me
Both surgeons are bad it seems. Assuming X went first and played in the middle (the most optimal and common move), He could have won a turn early because O would have had to miss a block on O's previous turn.
Edit: The only case where this isn't true is if X's most recent move was the X in the center which would mean that the center was open for every previous turn. That still doesn't bode well for either of their abilities.
tic-tac-toe is so pointless. It always ends in a tie unless if one player is just picking random spaces.
technically the same is true for chess and go, we're just too dumb to grasp them to the extent we can grasp tic-tac-toe
sure, but those games require an IQ of 150 to master, while tic-tac-toe requires 30
Chess and go don't need extremely high IQs, it's mostly about the amount of time you invest in practice. I get annoyed by that cliche that playing chess, go, or with a rubik's cube has anything to do with intelligence and it's cringy to watch students on campus posing with their cubes to make an impression :)
ok sorry I didn't mean IQ in the literal sense, but you need to really think about your moves and practice helps a lot indeed
Rubik's cubes are different, you just have to learn the patterns and practice to do it very quickly
