A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
