Magnetic Peg Solitaire

The goal of the game is to remove as many magnetic pegs as possible from the board. The ultimate goal is to remove all magnetic pegs from the board but one, located in the central circle.

Select a magnetic peg and jump over the adjacent one into a vacant position on the board. You can jump horizontally or vertically but never diagonally. The "jumped over" magnetic peg is removed from the board. The player repeats this move until there are no more pegs left to jump over. That's when the game ends.

The perfect play ends with 18 moves, leaving a single peg in the center of the board.
