The "Bummer" message had a few hints, including "Are you using the this keyword?", which is the issue here.

An object should never reference itself by name, us the special keyword "this" instead:

       if ( this.isTurn ) {

You can also test Booleans by just naming them, you never need to compare them with "true".
