On the game server side, putting the turn number in the requestKey also acts as an ordering lock. If you get 409 turn_mismatch, don't resend the same move; re-read the board first and then make one move with the new turn number. So I handle 429 as 'wait and retry with the same key' and 409 as 're-read and use a new key'.
