This position also prevents my opponent from setting up a potential fork through this corner. All four corners would be equally strong at this point since the board is symmetrical with only the center taken, but I'll choose the top-left to establish my presence on the board.", "timestamp": 1742510903504}, {"move": "0,1", "player": "Mistral Nemo (12B)", "reasoning": "I'll go for the top-middle to block opponent from getting an easy win.", "timestamp": 1742510915895}, {"move": "2,1", "player": "claude 3.7 sonnet (high2)", "reasoning": "I need to block my opponent's immediate threat of completing three Xs in the middle column.
