  To create a Python class for an unbeatable Tic Tac Toe game, we need to follow these steps:
  
  1. Design the class structure
  2. Implement the game board
  3. Create a method for the player's move
  4. Develop an AI opponent using the minimax algorithm
  5. Implement game state checking (win, draw, or ongoing)
  6. Create a method to play the game
  7. Add a method to display the board
  
  Let's break down each step:
  
  1. Class structure:
     - We'll create a class called `TicTacToe`
     - It will have methods for initializing the game, making moves, checking game state, and playing the game
  
  2. Game board:
     - We'll use a 3x3 list of lists to represent the board
     - Empty cells will be represented by ' ', 'X' for the player, and 'O' for the AI
  
  3. Player's move:
     - We'll create a method to allow the player to make a move
     - It will take row and column inputs and update the board
  
  4. AI opponent:
     - We'll implement the minimax algorithm for the AI
     - This will ensure the AI always makes the best possible move
  
  5. Game state checking:
     - We'll create methods to check for wins and draws
     - These will be used by both the player and AI logic
  
  6. Play game method:
     - This will be the main game loop
     - It will alternate between player and AI moves until the game ends
  
  7. Display board:
     - We'll create a method to print the current state of the board
  
  Now that we have a plan, let's start implementing the class.

  My approach seems logical and covers all the necessary components for an unbeatable Tic Tac Toe game. The minimax algorithm is the key to making the AI unbeatable, as it explores all possible moves and their outcomes.
  
  One potential oversight could be not considering the efficiency of the minimax algorithm, which might be slow for the first move. We could optimize it by implementing alpha-beta pruning, but for a 3x3 Tic Tac Toe board, the performance impact would be negligible.
  
  I'm confident in this approach, but I want to make sure the implementation is correct before moving to the output section. Let's proceed with the implementation step by step.

  <thinking>
  Let's implement the TicTacToe class step by step:
  
  1. Class structure and initialization:
  
  ```python
  class TicTacToe:
      def __init__(self):
          self.board = [[' ' for _ in range(3)] for _ in range(3)]
          self.current_player = 'X'
  
      def display_board(self):
          for row in self.board:
              print('|'.join(row))
              print('-' * 5)
  ```
  
  2. Player's move and game state checking:
  
  ```python
      def is_valid_move(self, row, col):
          return 0 <= row < 3 and 0 <= col < 3 and self.board[row][col] == ' '
  
      def make_move(self, row, col, player):
          if self.is_valid_move(row, col):
              self.board[row][col] = player
              return True
          return False
  
      def check_winner(self, player):
          # Check rows, columns, and diagonals
          for i in range(3):
              if all(self.board[i][j] == player for j in range(3)) or \
                 all(self.board[j][i] == player for j in range(3)):
                  return True
          if all(self.board[i][i] == player for i in range(3)) or \
             all(self.board[i][2-i] == player for i in range(3)):
              return True
          return False
  
      def is_board_full(self):
          return all(self.board[i][j] != ' ' for i in range(3) for j in range(3))
  ```
  
  3. AI opponent using minimax algorithm:
  
  ```python
      def minimax(self, depth, is_maximizing):
          if self.check_winner('O'):
              return 1
          if self.check_winner('X'):
              return -1
          if self.is_board_full():
              return 0
  
          if is_maximizing:
              best_score = float('-inf')
              for i in range(3):
                  for j in range(3):
                      if self.board[i][j] == ' ':
                          self.board[i][j] = 'O'
                          score = self.minimax(depth + 1, False)
                          self.board[i][j] = ' '
                          best_score = max(score, best_score)
              return best_score
          else:
              best_score = float('inf')
              for i in range(3):
                  for j in range(3):
                      if self.board[i][j] == ' ':
                          self.board[i][j] = 'X'
                          score = self.minimax(depth + 1, True)
                          self.board[i][j] = ' '
                          best_score = min(score, best_score)
              return best_score
  
      def ai_move(self):
          best_score = float('-inf')
          best_move = None
          for i in range(3):
              for j in range(3):
                  if self.board[i][j] == ' ':
                      self.board[i][j] = 'O'
                      score = self.minimax(0, False)
                      self.board[i][j] = ' '
                      if score > best_score:
                          best_score = score
                          best_move = (i, j)
          self.make_move(best_move[0], best_move[1], 'O')
  ```
  
  4. Main game loop:
  
  ```python
      def play_game(self):
          print("Welcome to Tic Tac Toe!")
          print("You are 'X', and the AI is 'O'.")
          print("Enter your moves as row and column numbers (0-2).")
  
          while True:
              self.display_board()
  
              # Player's turn
              while True:
                  try:
                      row = int(input("Enter row: "))
                      col = int(input("Enter column: "))
                      if self.make_move(row, col, 'X'):
                          break
                      else:
                          print("Invalid move. Try again.")
                  except ValueError:
                      print("Invalid input. Please enter numbers.")
  
              if self.check_winner('X'):
                  self.display_board()
                  print("You win! (This should never happen)")
                  return
  
              if self.is_board_full():
                  self.display_board()
                  print("It's a draw!")
                  return
  
              # AI's turn
              print("AI is making a move...")
              self.ai_move()
  
              if self.check_winner('O'):
                  self.display_board()
                  print("AI wins!")
                  return
  
              if self.is_board_full():
                  self.display_board()
                  print("It's a draw!")
                  return
  ```
  
  Now we have a complete implementation of the TicTacToe class.
  </thinking>
  
  <reflection>
  The implementation looks correct and covers all the necessary components we outlined in our initial plan. Let's review each part:
  
  1. The class structure and initialization are straightforward and correct.
  2. The player's move and game state checking methods are implemented correctly.
  3. The AI opponent using the minimax algorithm is implemented correctly. This ensures that the AI will always make the best possible move, making the game unwinnable for the player.
  4. The main game loop alternates between the player and AI moves, checks for win/draw conditions, and displays the board after each move.
  
  One potential improvement could be to add comments to explain the minimax algorithm for better readability. However, this doesn't affect the functionality of the code.
  
  I'm now very confident that this implementation meets all the requirements:
  - It allows a user to play Tic Tac Toe against a virtual opponent.
  - The game is unwinnable; the AI will always either win or force a draw.
  - The code is well-structured and follows object-oriented principles.
