I'm choosing the top-left corner (0,0) as my first move. Since my opponent has taken the center position, taking a corner is a strong strategic choice. This gives me the potential to create two different winning paths - either across the top row (0,0 → 0,1 → 0,2) or down the left column (0,0 → 1,0 → 2,0). Additionally, it sets up a potential diagonal win (0,0 → 1,1 → 2,2), though my opponent already occupies the center. By taking a corner rather than an edge, I maximize my potential winning paths for future moves. If my opponent doesn't block one of my threats on their next move, I'll have an opportunity to create a fork situation where I have two potential winning moves simultaneously.
