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.
