A closer look at one example
Two crosses in the top row threaten a win in the remaining top-row cell. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
You cannot replace a mark that is already on the board. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
