An example before you play
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
Pay attention to this rule
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
