Should be:
  End of first turn: at 3 with 2 point left
  Start of second turn: at 4 with 0 points left
  Start of third turn: at 4 with 6 points left
  End of third turn: at 9 with 1 point left
  total of 17 points spend

This is an implementation issue. We don't have to use goto for
this. Just a single step move which is delayed.
