To win a tic tac toe game, what is the best first move?

Question

I know this sounds kind of dumb.

Is your best chance to win a tic tac toe game, if you go first, to go into the centre, or into one of the 4 corners and why?

Answer 1

Be the second to play...make your stratagy from there...

Answer 2

the corners always have more opportunity if the middle cell is taken

Answer 3

corners because you will get double chances.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well I would say get it in the middle. Then get any 2 corners and you win either way. If you follow that strategy it's impossible to lose.

Answer 6

the four corners or sometimes the middle.  The middle you have the luck and the four corner i don't know it always work for me

Answer 7

top left corner always works for me

Answer 8

neither

You should go in one of the side spaces.

This will delude your oppenet into thinking you're an idiot and taking you too lightly.

Answer 9

Center. leaves you open for any three in a row.

Answer 10

never go for center, center is for defence.

Answer 11

Always chose the corners first.  If you get the corners you cannot lose.  If your opponent chooses a corner so should you to try to get a cats game.

Answer 12

any one of the four corners

Answer 14

actually the first move can be in the corners or the middle..it doesn't matter. What matters the most is your 2nd move to set up your double line!

Answer 15

always the corner, you simply can't loose then that's why tictactoe is among the dumbest games ever invented imo.

Answer 16

corner!!! you have a beter chance of wining

Answer 17

definantly the middle it takes out 4 diffirent wins for your opponent and leves them only 4

Answer 18

Any corner.  If your opponent does not then choose the middle on his/her first turn, there is no way to stop you winning.  Even if the middle is selected, you can win by selecting the opposite corner and hoping your opponent selects one of the remaining 2 corners.

If you start with the middle, your opponent can go anywhere next and still not lose.

Answer 19

any of the 4 corners and making your next move diagonal to the nex corner and then after that any other corner b/c that way you'll have a double win

Answer 21

Corner

Answer 22

1st move top right cell

Answer 23

The player that goes first will win about twice as often as the player that goes second.

Answer 24

One of the four corners, followed  by a move either in the corner above or below the ffirst move. That''s then giving you a shot either across, left-rightt, or a shot up aand down, and then your next move should be in a ddiagonal corner. Try it with yourself, it's honestlly brilliant.

In the end, even if they  block one win, you still potentiaally have two other  ways to win

Untill they catch on to the mind trick, you will win  EVERY game. Promise

Answer 25

I usually go for the center, you can go whatever way you want to afterwards, and it takes away the diagonal option for you're opponent

Answer 26

utk menang.guna akal..memerhati pergerakan..sebelum bergerak

Answer 27

One of the corners.  If you play in the center, you've lost.

Answer 28

Answer 29

The best way to win is to choose an outside box. it is easy to block an inside box.
