You can't place a wall that prevents a player from winning completly, a wall can only extend the path to his victory.

If there is another player adjacent to the current player, and no wall behind this player, the current player can jump above the adjacent one and move 2 tiles. If a wall is blocking the current player from jumping above an adjacent player, he can move diagonally if there are no walls on the side of the adjacent player blocking this move.
