What you are aiming for
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

- White starts; set striker aim and power.
- Own-colour pockets earn another shot.
- Cover the queen with an own-colour man in the same or next shot.

A closer look at one 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. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
