Cheating Tic-Tac-Toe

 This game is not only fun, but is actually very good for your pieces
too.
First go find someone in the house who is prepared to be your
opponent.
They don't need to know anything about music, but they do need to have
five minutes spare. It is possible to play without an opponent (you would
to move for them), bit it is a lot more fun with Dad or your little sister
sitting opposite you.
Draw up a standard noughts and crosses
(tic-tac-toe) board. That is the
only thing about this game that will be standard.
In normal noughts and crosses, you take turns. In this version, you can
have as many turns in a row as you like. (Unless you are a really
bad noughts and crosses player, three turns should do it).
But you have to earn your turns. I know, I know, there's always a
catch.
Choose a section from your piece - one that you can get right
sometimes, but not every time.
Now play it through once.
If there were no mistakes at all, it's your turn. If was even one
little tiny insignificant mistake, your opponent moves.
You repeat this process until someone wins.
Brilliant! I can hardly wait to start my first game! But what do I do if I win? Or lose?
