This forces my opponent to play defensively on their next move. If they don't respond optimally, I may be able to create a fork situation (where I have two simultaneous threats) on my next turn, giving me a strong advantage.

First, this creates two potential winning paths for me: I now have an O in both the top-left and top-right positions, setting up a potential win along the top row. Second, this blocks a potential diagonal win for my opponent - they already have X's in the center (1,1) and bottom-right (2,2), so blocking the top-right prevents them from completing that diagonal.
