- objects don't refer to themselves by name, that's what the keyword this is for
- a code block surrounded by braces (empty or not) doesn't need a semicolon after it

231,184 PointsIt's never necessary to compare a Boolean value with "true", you can just test it directly (as you did originally):
if (this.isTurn) { }
Glad I could help. You can mark a question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!
