Building a bot to play Tic-Tac-Toe

Tic-Tac-Toe (Noughts and Crosses) is probably one of the most famous games. Let's see how to build a game where the computer can play against the user. This is a minor variant of the Tic-Tac-Toe recipe given in the easyAI library.

from easyAI import TwoPlayersGame, AI_Player, Negamax 
from easyAI.Player import Human_Player 

Define a class that contains all the methods to play the game. Start by defining the players and who starts the game:

class GameController(TwoPlayersGame):
