Code not working !- Tic tac toe

Passed this challenge , yet it is failing now!

boards.py 
class Board:
    def __init__(self, width, height):
        self.width = width
        self.height = height
        self.cells = []
        for y in range(self.height):
            for x in range(self.width):
                self.cells.append((x, y))

class TicTacToe(Board):
    def __init__(self,width,height):
        super().__init__(self, width=3,height=3)

When you call super().__init__() you're saying "hey, create this subclass using the parent class's __init__() method". It's like a shortcut so you don't have to put in stuff that you're going to use from the parent class. You would only pass in arguments to __init__() that are not in the parent class or ones you want to override. When you call super().__init__() you don't pass in self to __init__(). (I don't know why, that's the syntax.) So fixing those you would get:

class TicTacToe(Board):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(width=3, height=3)
