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

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.
