Starting in the center also prevents my opponent from taking this high-value position and provides me with the most flexibility to respond to their moves.

Setting up a fork: After playing at (1,0), I create two potential winning paths for my next move:\n   - A horizontal win across the middle row (1,0)-(1,1)-(1,2)\n   - A diagonal win from bottom-left to top-right if I can later play at (0,2)\n\nThis creates a \"fork\" situation where my opponent can only block one threat at a time. If they block the horizontal threat by playing at (1,2), I can win diagonally by playing at (0,2).
