"subscript" means "a thing in square brackets after a name". You've
got three subscripts in that line: board[1], board[2], and board[3].
The error means that you're trying to use square brackets after
something that doesn't support them. It's telling you that 'board' is
a function (as opposed to a list or a dict, for example) and functions
don't support [].
Possibly you're meant to call board:
print "\n\t", board(1), "|", board(2), "|", board(3)
Or, alternatively, you may have assigned to it by mistake somewhere.
