                cursor & F3 to select the other bound :
                     .*o*.  then you got : .***.

-You can push the opponent balls this way :
  * 2 against 1 :  . . . b b w . .    (on any line of the set)
                         ---->
  * 3 against 2 :  . . b b b w w . .  (on any line of the set)
                       ------>

-To put an opponent ball out of the set : 
 
  . . . b b b w w /         
        ----->    ^edge
  and then you have
  . . . . b b b w /       and a white ball outside !
