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'm gonna refer to the spots in logistic terms (north, south, east, west, NE, etc) and the middle spot will simply be M
O went first because X has seemingly no offensive moves.
O went in SE then X went in S in order to block one of the three outlets for the SE spot
O went in NE so X blocked in E
O went in N so X blocked in NW
