I'll place my X in the bottom-left corner (2,0). This is a strong strategic move because:

1. It creates two potential winning paths for me - I can win either by completing the diagonal from top-right to bottom-left (by playing 0,2 later) or by completing the left column (by playing 1,0 later).

2. By controlling both the center and a corner, I'm setting up a potential fork situation where my opponent will be forced to defend against multiple threats.

3. Since my opponent has the top-left corner, taking the bottom-left prevents them from easily creating a threat along the left column.

This move maximizes my winning opportunities while maintaining defensive positioning against my opponent's potential threats.
