How to interact with the game
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this 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. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
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.
