I'll place my X in the bottom-right corner (2,2) to create a diagonal threat from top-left to bottom-right. Since I already have the center position (1,1), placing my symbol at (2,2) sets up a potential diagonal win. This forces my opponent to block this diagonal in their next move, which gives me the initiative. Additionally, this move begins to establish potential winning opportunities along both the bottom row and the right column, maximizing my strategic options for future moves.
