Given this tic-tac-toe position, as played by two expert players, who went first and where? Also, which was the last "move"?

 X | O | O 
---+---+---
   |   | X
---+---+---
   | X | O

(An expert player is a player who would never play in such a way that would allow his opponent to win, and who would also try to get the possible best result.)

i have never heard of "expert" tic-tac-toe players
and certainly not two of them?  all games would be a draw and
they would move on to checkers, chess, and so forth
