I'll place my X in the bottom-left corner (2,0) for several strategic reasons:

1. This creates a diagonal threat from bottom-left to top-right (2,0 → 1,1 → 0,2), forcing my opponent to block at top-right (which is already occupied by O).

2. It also sets up two potential winning paths: a vertical line in the left column (2,0 → 1,0 → 0,0) and a horizontal line in the bottom row (2,0 → 2,1 → 2,2).

3. By playing in the corner opposite to my opponent's O, I'm maximizing my control of the board and creating multiple threats that will be difficult to block simultaneously in future moves.

This move gives me the highest number of potential winning lines while preventing my opponent from creating any immediate threats.
