    Tips & Warnings

    • The center space is arguably the best one to get first.

    • Starting in an outside middle square can be a bad move if you have a clever opponent.

    • It's said to be a "cat's game" when no one wins.

      Top line: 0 1 2, Middle line: 3 4 5, Bottom line: 6 7 8, Play (0, 7)(5, 3) then 8. Your opponent is trapped. If your opponent didn't play (..., 7) then just rotate the board in your head.

      You can also take a middle and another middle for even more chances... just experiment and find a good strategy with those.
