An example to follow
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.
Notice this detail
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.
