Sorry but rules are wrong! when you send the player to a square already complete (with spaces left) they should have to go in that square, not get a free go. This is correct.

Those rules means the first player always wins. It's not a game, but a trick.

There's one unfair thing in this though. If the board has already been won, sending them to the same board allows them to place a mark anywhere on the megaboard even if there are vacant spots available on the said board.

Try this- https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 You get the first turn :)

Oh yeah, this is better. Fyi note that the AI is totally evil. Its first priority is to send you to a square that's already been won (does not matter who won) effectively rendering your move useless while you give it map mobility. It prioritizes that over making a move at winning a table even! Also, if you think that the AI will play to win the specific board and you can use that knowledge to your advantage... you're wrong, you're so wrong. The only way to make the AI do what you want is to pigeonhole it into a board where there's only one square left.

About the AI sending us to already won square - won't we do the same? So this is a smart AI :P

Oh totally. I didn't look at the code though but I'm impressed if that isn't a hardcoded behaviour.
