See the idea in action
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
