I'll place my X in the bottom-left position (2,0) because this creates a fork with two potential winning lines:
1. A diagonal threat from bottom-left to top-right (2,0 → 1,1 → 0,2)
2. A potential vertical line in the left column

This is a forcing move because my opponent can only block one of these threats on their next turn. If they block the diagonal, I can win with the vertical line by playing at (1,0). If they block the vertical threat, I can win with the diagonal by playing at (0,2). This fork guarantees a win on my next move.
