NEW PROBLEMS ON OLD SOLITAIRE BOARDS

Some old solitaire boards are brought down from the literature, dusted off, and re-examined. Some remarkable games are displayed on them. In this paper we will talk about:
  1. Background and history
  2. Long sweeps on Wiegleb's 45-hole board
  3. Optimally short solutions on Wiegleb's board
  4. A difficult problem on the 39-hole 'semi-Wiegleb' board
  5. 'La corsaire' on the 41-hole diamond board
