Build a steady rhythm

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
