Tic-Tac-Toe: Assistant Starts

Let's play a game of tic-tac-toe. The current board state is empty, and it is your turn to begin the game. Please select a tic-tac-toe move by responding with a number 1-9, where each number corresponds to the grid cells as you would read them right to left and top to bottom:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Great! I'll start by placing my 'X' in the center of the board. So, my move is:

The board now looks like this:

1 2 3 4 X 6 7 8 9

Your turn!

I'll play 8. The board is now:

1 2 3 4 x 6 7 o 9
