Put the rules into context
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
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.
