An example before you play
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.

The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
