A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
