See how the rules apply
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
