Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Making your moves
- 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.

See how the rules apply
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
