 A few things you can explore about object-orientation in this program
 include:

-  - new operators (every class gets its own new operator at compile time)
-  - virtual method tables

 On your turn you have to set a free cell to a value between 1 to 9 without
 breaking the following rule. Any number must be unique in its:
 
-    1. row
-    2. column
-    3. 3x3 block.
+1. row
