Follow the example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.

A mistake to avoid

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
