See the idea in action
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Notice this detail
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. 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.
