When you start, you first remove 2 matches. You are then guaranteed to win.

From then on, each time your opponent plays you make the count removed by you and your opponent up to 4. If they take 1 you take 3 if they take 2 you take 2 etc. This means your opponent is always left with the last match.

The key to this game is TARGET NUMBERS. You arrange it so you leave your opponent with:

13, 9, 5 and finally 1 match.Once you've removed the first 2 matches, you keep making up the total removed in that round to 4.

Can you win if your opponent starts? Yes you can unless they understand how to win and begin with 2.

If they start with 1: you take away another 1bringing you to your target number of 13 left.

If they start with 3, you remove another 3 making the target number 9.

How do you win at tic tac toe?

Before you make a move, check to see if the opponent has a two in a row. That prevents you from losing. The best game is a draw. The best strategy is to start from either corner, and the opponent must take the middle. Then you take another corner and the opponent blocks it. Then you must block the two in a row. The opponent would probably persist and make another two in a row, but then you. Lock it and the game is a draw.
