- Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
- A closed required board permits play in any open board.

The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
