Its a long time since I ever even considered tic tac toe ...
but regarding those two 'not a sure' statements -
I agree.
And 'sure' anything might never be proven for white nor for black regarding white's 20 opening options because computers and software/programming might never be strong enough.
It also just occurred to me - that if computers eventually did affirm any kind of 'sure' from white's very first move - would humans even be able to understand whatever the computer 'proof' would be ? ... Maybe. . But is it 'sure' ? That would have to be proven too maybe. If it could be.
