Dwight,

I am not very familiar with the game theory of Tic Tac Toe. However, what
you say does make sense and in general I would think the best that can be
hoped for between adult player and a computer is a tie (barring no stupid
mistakes on the part of the human player). However, according to the New
Yorker article the Manrobot beat the human player five times in a row....
hence my quip about the WOPR.
