	George Bell's Peg Solitaire Page
		Peg solitaire is a classical puzzle (originating in France in the late 17th century) commonly played on a 33-hole cross-shaped board (also called "the English Board") or a 15-hole triangular board.
		A solitaire move itself is such a transformation, but there are others, such as removing three pegs in a row, or replacing two pegs separated by a hole by a peg in the hole.
		As noted in Beasley [1], solitaire on such a lattice is equivalent to solitaire on a square lattice with the addition of moves along one diagonal but not the other.

		There are many different solitaire games, but the term "solitaire" is often used to refer specifically to the most well-known form, called "Klondike".

		Before this, literature about solitaire (or "patience" as it was known at the time) was non-existent, not even in such books as Charles Cotton's The Compleat Gamester (1674), Abbé Bellecour's Academie des Jeux (1674), and Bohn's Handbook of Games (1850), all of which are used as reference on card games.

	George Bell's Triangular Peg Solitaire Page
		In triangular peg solitaire the holes in the board are based on a lattice of equilateral triangles.
		A solitaire move itself is such a transformation, but there are others, such as removing three pegs in a row, replacing two pegs separated by a hole by a peg in the hole, or removing any triangle of 3 pegs.
		For example a solution on Triangle(6) can be used to solve one corner of a much larger board, with all remaining areas cleared by chains of block removal moves (these are combinations of jumps that remove a whole block of pegs, leaving the rest of the board unchanged, see [W3]).

		One problem that arises with solitaire RPGing (assuming that such a thing can be said to exist, which I will assume for purposes of discussion) is that of notation.

		If you look at diagram 2 diagonally, tilting it clockwise, you see that this problem is equivalent to the standard type (orthogonal jump) solitaire puzzle shown in diagram 3.
		Reducing it to a standard type of puzzle means we can use John D. Beasley's analysis ("The Ins and Outs of Peg Solitaire", chapter 4) on it.
		In Beasley's terminology the position is "in phase" for every diagonal, since each diagonal has the same parity (even) in the number of men as the total.
