can probably win. Continue to force the opponent to block until you have two
When planning your moves during a game, don't lose sight of the fact that your opponent is doing the same. Blocking your opponent's markers is equally important to establishing a strategy of your own.
It has been proven that first player to move can always win, provided he or she plays a perfect game. The computer on the other, has a degree of randomness programmed into its play, so it will not always play a perfect game, even at the highest skill level (8). This gives the opponent a chance to win, if he or she is a skill player.
