Introduction
After playing many games against the AI on the hardest difficulty, I realized that I am not smart enough to defeat it. But I had an idea! What would the AI do against itself? Would it draw? Would it win?
Then I decided to play many games alternating who plays first each time and playing exactly what the AI would have played. After many iterations, I got the achievement :).
Here is the sequence:

Ho! Sorry if it doesn't work anymore. I haven't looked at it for more than 1 year.

Unfortunately, maybe some update based after this guide, the AI now starts with a new move. Unable to acheive, but will try
