Yes, now we've come to the point that you need to move 1-2-3 squares at a time, at least at the beginning of the game, in such situations, and not just "charge" in, and make similar mistakes.
I really don't want to keep picking at things and arguing, looking for mistakes, but to initially make a couple of comments and just discuss the Walkthrough on Demand (WoD), in my opinion, would be interesting, especially since you decided to use it to teach someone.
Никогда не теряйте концентрации, даже если абсолютно уверены в своей победе: секундная расслабленность, и триумф обернётся горьким поражением.
