A useful example
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Contact with a different colour is not a match. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
