You need to show us the whole code including the print statements. Also, do you get an error message? If so please include the full message. As it stands the formatting is all messed up but unless you have it all on one line (or 3 lines, I just noticed the \ chars...) I suspect you will get a syntax error? To fix that you can put parentheses round the expression: if ( board[0:3]==["X", "X", "X"] or board[3:6]==["X", "X", "X"] or board[6:9]==["X", "X", "X"] or [board[0],board[3],board[6]]==["X", "X", "X"] or [board[1],board[4],board[7]]==["X", "X", "X"] or [board[2],board[5],board[8]]==["X", "X", "X"] or [board[0],board[4],board[8]]==["X", "X", "X"] or [board[2],board[4],board[6]]==["X", "X", "X"] ): Have you tried breaking it down in the interpreter? Try an if statement with just the first three lines? Then the last two? etc That will help identify where the problem lies. At a casual glance I can't see any issues with the code above. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
