Try this example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
