See the idea in action
An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
A common point of confusion
You cannot move into the computer’s half. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
