I analyzed the board and looked for immediate winning opportunities and potential blocking moves. While there’s no direct win this turn, I noticed that by dropping my O in column 4, my piece will fall to row 4 (since row 5 is already occupied by X). This move will create a horizontal line in row 4 with my existing O’s at columns 2 and 3, forming three consecutive O’s. This setup enhances my chances to form a connect-four in future moves while not granting any immediate advantage to my opponent. Therefore, I choose column 4.
