Debriefs

Introduce a 'freeze' mechanism to temporarily prevent players from making moves when a winning opportunity arises, allowing for more interesting and competitive plays.

Fix the result format. 'Place 1 of 2, win. O wins' is confusing. It should clearly state who won the match. The rules are clear, but the output is not.
