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. Consider the next action carefully.

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
