I notice that my opponent has Xs at positions (1,1) and (2,0), which creates a potential diagonal win for them if they place an X at (0,2). I need to block this immediate threat.

Additionally, by placing my O at (0,2), I now have Os at (0,0) and (0,2). This creates a potential winning opportunity for me in the top row if I can place an O at (0,1) in my next move.

This move serves both a defensive purpose (blocking my opponent's diagonal win) and sets up a potential winning line for me in the future.
