Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to play
- Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
- Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
- Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
- Undo repairs a deadlock.

Follow the example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
