Make jump the numbers over the numbers which are small than them to the adjacent vacant square beyond them. (vertically, horizontally or diagonally)
(For instance, the number 5 can jump over number 1, 2, 3 and 4 but, can't jump over number 6, 7 and 8.)
The three squares must be lined up.
Remove the number which is jumped over it from the board and enter the value of the number removed into the Move-Score Table as point with the coordinates of the moves.
( For example, if number 6 is jumped over number 4, then number 4 is removed from the board and 4 points are entered the score table.)

Your task is getting maximum point with 10 moves.
