A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
