==Play== [[File:Spielzug von Solitär.gif|thumb|Playing Peg solitaire]] [[File:PegSolitaire.jpg|thumb|right|Man playing triangular peg solitaire]] A valid move is to jump a peg [[Orthogonality#Gaming|orthogonally]] over an adjacent peg into a hole two positions away and then to remove the jumped peg. In the diagrams which follow, <code>·</code> indicates a peg in a hole, <code>'''*'''</code> emboldened indicates the peg to be moved, and <code>o</code> indicates an empty hole. A blue <code>{{blue|¤}}</code> is the hole the current peg moved from; a red <code>{{red|'''*'''}}</code> is the final position of that peg, a red <code>{{red|'''o'''}}</code> is the hole of the peg that was jumped and removed. Thus valid moves in each of the four orthogonal directions are: '''*''' · o → {{blue|¤}} {{red|'''o'''}} {{red|'''*'''}} ''Jump to right'' o · '''*''' → {{red|'''*'''}} {{red|'''o'''}} {{blue|¤}} ''Jump to left'' '''*''' {{blue|¤}} · → {{red|'''o'''}} ''Jump down'' o {{red|'''*'''}} o {{red|'''*'''}} · → {{red|'''o'''}} ''Jump up'' '''*''' {{blue|¤}} On an English board, the first three moves might be: · · · · · · · · · · · · · '''*''' · · {{blue|¤}} · · o · · {{red|'''*'''}} · · · · · · · · · · · {{red|'''o'''}} · · · · {{blue|¤}} {{red|'''o'''}} {{red|'''*'''}} · · · · o o {{red|'''o'''}} · · · · · · o · · · · · · {{red|'''*'''}} · · · · · · · · · · · · · {{blue|¤}} · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
