Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
