See the idea in action
A piece in an opposing mill can be captured only when every opposing piece belongs to a mill. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
Only the defined lines count as mills, not any visual alignment. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
