Suppose that the first four moves of a tic-tac-toe game are as shown.
Does the first player (whose moves are marked by Xs) have a strategy that will always win? (If no, explain why. If yes, show the winning strategy in a form of a game tree)
The first player using Xs does indeed have a strategy to always win by placing an X in the Middle right box.
Why is this a winning strategy?
When the first player places an X in the middle right spot, the second player will have to place an O in two places to avoid the first player winning.
They would have to place an O in the middle left space and in the bottom right space. Seeing as they can't place an O in two boxes at once, the first player will be able to place an X in the empty box out of the two, and win.
In conclusion, there is a winning strategy.
