Put the rules into context
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
