I'm choosing column 1 for strategic positioning. This move creates potential diagonal winning opportunities in future turns while maintaining good board control. By playing in column 1, I'm not giving my opponent any immediate threats to capitalize on, and I'm starting to develop the left side of the board. This also prevents my opponent from potentially creating a trap in this column and gives me more flexibility for future moves. While columns 0 and 6 are also available, column 1 provides better positioning for creating future connected lines.
