An example before you play
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Keep this in mind
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
