An example before you play
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
