How to play Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

The board is nine small tic-tac-toe games arranged in a 3×3 grid. Win a small board to claim its cell on the big board, and line up three claimed cells to win the match. The twist: the cell you play in sends your opponent to the matching small board for their next move. Think two levels ahead to beat the computer.
