See the idea in action
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
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.
