Chaining to your own Cards

You can chain to your own cards (example: chain "Backup Soldier" to "Backup Soldier") even if your opponent doesn't have any "intermediate" steps.

Example #1: Example #2: Example #3: Example #4: Example #5: These are all legal moves. Remember that a Counter Trap can only be chained to negate the step immediately preceding its activation. Example #6:
 * Player A attacks.
 * Player B activates "Enchanted Javelin".
 * Player A does not respond.
 * Player B chains another "Enchanted Javelin".
 * Player A attacks.
 * Player B activates "Gravity Bind".
 * Player A does not respond.
 * Player B chains "Enchanted Javelin".
 * Player A attacks.
 * Player B activates "Mirror Force".
 * Player A does not respond.
 * Player B chains "Magic Cylinder".
 * Player A Summons a monster.
 * Player B activates "Trap Hole".
 * Player A does not respond.
 * Player B chains "Chain Destruction" to "Trap Hole".
 * Player A activates "Ring of Destruction".
 * Player B does not respond.
 * Player A chains "Barrel Behind the Door" to "Ring of Destruction".
 * Player A activates "Ring of Destruction".
 * Player B chains "Waboku".
 * Player A cannot chain "Barrel Behind the Door" to "Ring of Destruction" because "Ring of Destruction" was not the immediately preceding step of the chain.
