Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe

Just because the force move in Classical Tic-Tac-Toe is not a force move in Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe does not mean that there are no force moves in Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe. There are in fact several. Depending upon the taxonomy used to distinguish them, there are about 8. This month's challenge is to identify as many quantum force situations as possible.

See the situation in the PDF file. Note that X cannot get a real mark in square 7 in only one move. This gives O time to make her own force move (for instance, move 6 in squares 6 & 9). If O tried to directly stop X from getting a 3-row in the first column by placing her spooky marks in the same squares as X did (7 & 8), it would form a cyclic entanglement which X gets to collapse in his favor. However, while X can't complete the 3-row in only one move, neither can O block it in only one move, so while not technically a force move, X's open 2-row in squares 1 & 4 is nonetheless a powerful threat. To fully realize this threat, however, X needs to take into account O's possible threats. His better third move would be into squares 7 and 9 (or 6). Can you see why?
