Let's embark on a thrilling game of Gomoku! The objective is to get five consecutive pieces in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) on a 9x9 grid. After each move, I'll display the updated board with ABCDEFGHI as the row labels and 123456789 as the column labels. We'll take turns making moves, with you responding after each of my turns. You can't place a piece on top of another, and the original board will remain unchanged until a move is made. With that in mind, please make the first move and let's start this strategic battle!
