To win as fast as possible, we want to create multiple threats and control the board. With our X already placed in the center, picking a corner maximizes our potential for creating winning lines (diagonals, verticals, and horizontals). By choosing the bottom left corner (2,0), we establish a potential for both diagonal and row/column wins in forthcoming moves, forcing the opponent into a defensive position. This move sets the stage for a fork and accelerates our chances of winning.
