I'm having a problem with python in relation to tuples

I am trying to create a game (tic tac toe) and I have to create a board (called tab) using 3 tuples that each has 3 elements that represent a position on a line. A "X" is represented by the number 1, a "O" by -1 and an empty space by 0. I am trying to create a function that receives an argument (in this case the board is the argument) and says if it represents a valid board or not, however it always gives me the wrong answer (in this case says it's false) and I don't know why.

tab = ((1, -1, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, -1, 1))

def eh_tabuleiro(tab):
    if len(tab) == 3:
        if len(tab[0]) == 3 and len(tab[1]) == 3 and len(tab[2]) == 3:
            if tab[0][0] or tab[0][1] or tab[0][2] or tab[1][0] or tab[1][1] or tab[1][2] or tab[2][0] or tab[2][1] or tab[2][2] != 1 or -1 or 0:
                return False
            else:
                return True           
            
        else:
            return False
    else:
        return False

For a board to be valid it needs to be a tuple with three tuples and 3 elements inside each smaller tuple. If it has 2 elements or instead of 1/-1/0 has a "-1" or any other thing the function returns False. As you can see my board is correct and it says it is not. Can anyone help me?
