See how the rules apply
A piece in an opposing mill can be captured only when every opposing piece belongs to a mill. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Only the defined lines count as mills, not any visual alignment. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
