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. Consider the next action carefully.

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.
