Design a Tic Tac Toe game that allows remote play.

I would design a remote two-player Tic Tac Toe game with the following core principles:

1. Centralized Game State: A single, authoritative server would manage the game board and turn order. All clients would receive updates from this server.
2. Client-Server Communication: Clients would send their move requests to the server. The server validates the move, updates the game state, and broadcasts the new state to all connected players.
3. Real-time Updates: Using technologies like WebSockets, players would see the board update instantly as their opponent makes a move.
4. Security: Client-side input would never be trusted. All moves would be validated on the server to prevent cheating. The client's board state is merely a representation of the server's authoritative state.
5. Handling Network Issues: Strategies for handling disconnections (e.g., timeouts, reconnections, or declaring a forfeit) would be implemented.

Key Clarifications Needed:

• Authentication: Are users authenticated (logged in) or anonymous (guest with a link)?
• Matchmaking: Is it random opponent matching or invite-only?
• Disconnect Handling: What is the policy for player disconnections (e.g., forfeit after a timeout, game pause, or asynchronous play)?
