On an infinite chessboard, a game is played as follows. At the start, pieces are arranged on the chessboard in an by block of adjoining squares, one piece in each square. A move in the game is a jump in a horizontal or vertical direction over an adjacent occupied square to an unoccupied square immediately beyond. The piece which has been jumped over is removed.
