Don't you mean tic-tac-toe?

Yeah, they got WOPR playing Tic-Tac-Toe against itself. It blasted through a bunch of games, each one a stalemate. It then started playing Global Thermonuclear War and eventually reached the same conclusion, saying:

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

How about a nice game of chess?

Don't you mean X's and O's? or Noughts and Crosses?

I'm just being an idiot ... I heard a RadioLab podcast where this guy went to a different country to ask about them about tic-tac-toe and was surprised it had a different name somehow.
