An example to follow

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

An important reminder

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
