Reversible Moves
It is important for further understanding of Genus theory, to know how reversible moves work. Suppose there are two games A and B, where A and B have the same options (moves available), then they are of course, equivalent.
If B has an extra option, say to a game X, then A and B are still equivalent if there is a move from X to A.
That is, B is the same as A in every way, except for an extra move (X), which can be reversed.

Famous quotes containing the word moves:
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
