I analyzed the board and noticed that you already have two O pieces in column 2 (at row5 and row4). Dropping another O in column 2 will land at row3, forming a vertical stack of three O’s that threatens a vertical connect-four on your next turn if not blocked. This move also sets up potential diagonal connections. In essence, dropping in column 2 creates an immediate threat that forces your opponent to respond, giving you a strategic edge.
