Since my opponent has taken the center position, I'll play in the top-left corner (0,0). This is a strong strategic move because:

1. It allows me to start building a diagonal line from (0,0) to (2,2)
2. It keeps my options open for completing either the top row or the leftmost column
3. Corner plays are generally strong responses when the opponent takes the center
4. This positioning gives me multiple potential winning paths rather than committing to just one direction

By taking a corner, I'm setting up multiple threats that my opponent will need to defend against in subsequent moves, improving my chances of either winning or forcing a draw.
