Put the rules into context
A piece in an opposing mill can be captured only when every opposing piece belongs to a mill. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Only the defined lines count as mills, not any visual alignment. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
