[{"move": "1,1", "player": "claude 3.7 sonnet (high2)", "reasoning": "I'm choosing the center position (1,1) as my opening move because it's strategically optimal in Tic-Tac-Toe. The center position gives me control of both diagonals, the middle row, and the middle column - providing four potential winning lines. This maximizes my winning opportunities while also preventing my opponent from taking this strong position.
