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.)
(In reply to
solved..i think by Peter)
Wrong, peter.
If O goes in the Upper-Right cornert and X goes in the upper Left
corner, O next goes in the Lower left corner, forcing X to go in the
Middle, the places the Final O in the bottom right corener for the
2-way trap.
Please read my answer for an explanation of the solution.
