I'm choosing the top-left corner (0,0) for several strategic reasons:
1. Corner positions are powerful in Tic-Tac-Toe as they can contribute to multiple winning lines (row, column, and diagonal)
2. With X in the center, taking a corner prevents them from immediately creating a fork position
3. This move gives me potential winning opportunities through:
   - The top row (0,0 → 0,1 → 0,2)
   - The left column (0,0 → 1,0 → 2,0)
   - The main diagonal (0,0 → 1,1 → 2,2)
This maximizes my chances for creating winning opportunities in subsequent moves.
