Learn from a sample situation
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
A mistake to avoid
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
