See how the rules apply
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Pay attention to this rule
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
