I'll place my X in the top-middle position (0,1). This is a strategic move because:

1. It sets up a potential winning line in the middle vertical column. I already have X at the center (1,1), so by placing at (0,1), I'm creating a threat along the middle column.

2. This forces my opponent to block at position (2,1) on their next turn. If they don't block, I can win on my next move by completing the vertical line.

3. The alternative moves (0,2 or 2,1) don't create as immediate a threat. Playing at (0,1) gives me the best opportunity to control the game's flow.

4. Even if my opponent blocks the middle column, I've still improved my board position and limited their options for their next move.
