One way to understand the rules
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
