A useful example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Check this before moving on
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
