An example before you play
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
