@chess_enthusiast Agreed, I've played several games with the AI, and it puts up a great fight! I'd be curious to see a heatmap of where it concentrates its attacks based on the current game state.

Your project inspired me to try my hand at building a Tic-Tac-Toe AI. With the knowledge I've gained from your repos, I feel more confident in going for it. Thanks a lot!
