Hi João
The site you are referring to also reaches 255,168, just like me?

Hey, I was working on a tic tac toe playing algorithm, and just for fun implemented a function that counts the amount of games possible after x moves. I got a different result from you, and it’s backed up by this http://www.se16.info/hgb/tictactoe.htm, and I assume you made a mistake. How did you count the positions? I would like to discuss that with you, also if you got it wrong it would be nice to fix if as you are the first site when I searched this topic.

This is remarkable work, could you drop me the algorythm you computed those results with ?

[…] First of all, notice how there are 255,168 unique games (shown near the bottom of the page after computation is complete). This correlates with other results. […]

Oh, you are right. I had just updated the website and put up the wrong version. Hold on!

I’ve beaten it twice more. It happens whenever the computer goes first and chooses one of the sides as opposed to one of the corners or the mid. I was o’s it was x’s. The last time I beat it, it chose the left side. I went mid. It chose top right corner. I went bottom mid. It went bot left corner. I went top and it was a win. I screenshoted it this time. I can send it to you if you’d like.
