Well, the big difference between MC and TH is that in TH, once you make your move, your turn is over.  In MC, you can make a move that, potentially, can cause someone else to win, and then later in the move you can win for yourself.  The two options of when to declare a winner--immediately or at the end of turn--would be the same thing in TH.

It seems to me (I say with my complete lack of authority) that a rule
similar to the one in Treehouse should apply.  If you make a move and
someone else wins, they win.  Unless you also win, then you win.  And
if you make two people who aren't you win then they just tie.  None of
which would make any sense unless you check the board position at the
end of your turn.

But I haven't even played this game yet so... yeah.
