6. Consider the game tic-tac-toe. If you get to play first, there are two ways that you can guarantee that you will never lose. Many internet explanations on the subject (for example: focus on the variation where you start in a HA corner. However, you can also guarantee at least a tie by starting in the center. Some of the internet explanations say that starting in the corner is better because there is only one way that the other player can force a tie whereas if you start in the center, there are four ways that your opponent can force a tie. Should this matter? Present a brief argument explaining why the number of ways your opponent can force a tie doesn't matter. (Your answer should make use of the concept of rationality in games.)
