Shameless self plug. I spent a Saturday morning doing a similar (no monte-carlo, no AI library) thing recently with tic-tac-toe. I based this mostly on intuition, would love any feedback.

I've only skimmed it a little bit so far, I'm just wondering, if both players use the optimal strategy, shouldn't the game always result in a draw?

Which is why I was a bit confused by the target '80% Win/Tie rate going second', but I could well be missing something.

Edit: I'm an idiot, I see that the opponent takes random moves now. Seems a fun project :), a while ago I built a very simple rule-based tic-tac-toe thing in lisp, but the rules were all hardcoded alas.

you'll have to summarize your work better than this if you want any meaningful feedback

So I’m not the person who posted the code, but I don’t think I really understand what you mean but I want to learn from it. Can you explain what it would mean in practical/layman terms to resume his work better?

Probably a non-native English speaker making a mistaken analogy from a word meaning 'summarize':

This, sorry, my first language is French.

Unfortunately, there are hundreds of words that pose this kind of problem!

Yeah. Even ones you may not think about. http://teamcoco.com/video/ismo-01-22-18
