I'm choosing the center position (1,1) as my opening move because it's strategically the strongest first move in Tic-Tac-Toe. The center controls four possible winning lines (horizontal, vertical, and both diagonals), giving me the most opportunities to create winning patterns later in the game. This position maximizes my winning potential while also preventing my opponent from taking this valuable central position. From here, I can adapt my strategy based on my opponent's response.
