A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal

Step by step

- Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
- Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.

A useful example
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.
