I'll place my X in the bottom-right corner (2,2) for strategic advantage. This creates two potential winning paths - one along the diagonal from top-left to bottom-right, and another by potentially connecting either the right column or bottom row in future moves. Since I already have the center position, taking a corner creates maximum pressure on my opponent. They'll be forced to defend against multiple potential winning lines in their next move, giving me an advantage in board control. The bottom-right corner specifically is optimal because it's diagonally opposite from my opponent's piece.
