(playing a corner in this scenario creates a fork for “x” to win.) option 2: if there is a configuration where the opponent can fork, block that fork. center: play the center. opposite corner: if the opponent is in the corner, play the opposite corner. empty corner: play in a corner square. empty side: play in a middle square on any of the 4 sides.show less
