Give this approach a try
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Play inside the required mini-board.
- Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
- A closed required board permits play in any open board.
- Win local boards, then a large-board line.
How to use the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
