By placing my O in the top-right corner (0,2), I create an immediate threat to win with the top row. If my opponent blocks this by playing at (0,1), I can then play at (2,0) to create a dual threat - I'll threaten to win in the left column and force them to defend. This will lead to a winning position for me as I can continue building threats they can't all defend against. This move gives me the fastest path to victory while forcing my opponent to play defensively.
