Learn from a sample situation
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Check this before moving on
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
