How it fights — your starting playbook

Its role: The Guide Crow — drives its next piece home and only then puts it in front

First move: Work its furthest piece; frame its lead only when it is at the door and nothing is left to work.

Attack — First to Move: Moves first: in the opening rounds, turns your lead back.

Guard — Three Legs: Stands on three legs: the covered piece cannot be pushed back.

This is where it starts. In the league you steer it — when to attack, when to defend, how hard.
