Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example before you play

One detail worth checking
A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
