Playing in the bottom-right corner (2,2) is strategically optimal because:
1. It creates multiple winning opportunities - I can win either through the right column or bottom row
2. It follows a strong Tic-Tac-Toe strategy of controlling corners in conjunction with the center
3. If the opponent doesn't block one of my potential winning paths immediately, I can force a win in the next moves
4. Even if blocked, this position maintains good board control and keeps multiple paths to victory open
