A Peg Solitaire with various popular board shapes.

The mind bending puzzle of Peg Solitaire is well-known using

different board shapes and different amount of holes for

placing the pegs. The common mechanics is that a selected

peg is capable to jump any directly adjacent single neighbour

in straight direction onto a free position. A peg is removed

as it gets jumped. The selected peg will end its move just on

the first free field behind the peg that gets removed then.



Supported board shapes include

* triangular 15 peg positions (also called triangular 5),

* triangular 21 peg positions (also called triangular 6),

* English board, and

* French board.

In this Peg Solitaire you first select one of the board positions

to be a single vacancy as a starting position.

By jumping the total number of pegs is reduced one by one then until a

single peg is remaining. This class of challenges are referred to as

single vacancy to single survivor challenges. All possible

starting positions of a 15 hole triangular board shape do

definitively allow to finally end up with just one peg remaining on

optimal strategy.

If the single vacancy position matches the position of the survivor

these challenges are called a complement challenge. As a

tough task you might find out which vacancies do not allow a

complement challenge.

Consecutive jumps with same peg could be performed depending on the

board situation obviously. Such chained jumps could be seen as a

single move. The question arises to find the best solutions with

minimum amount of moves then.

Feel free to find all possible solutions for these different kind of challenges.
