I'll place my O in the bottom-left position (2,0) for two strategic reasons. First, this creates a potential winning opportunity along the left column, as I already have an O in the top-left (0,0). Second, it blocks a potential diagonal threat that my opponent could create if they played in this position. By occupying this square, I'm setting up multiple paths to victory while preventing my opponent from developing a strong position. In future moves, I can either complete the left column by playing at (1,0) or potentially create other winning opportunities.
