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:
“An amoeba is a formless thing which takes many shapes. It moves by thrusting out an arm, and flowing into the arm. It multiplies by pulling itself in two, without permanently diminishing the original. So with words. A meaning may develop on the periphery of the body of meanings associated with a word, and shortly this tentacle-meaning has grown to such proportions that it dwarfs all other meanings.”
—Charlton Laird (b. 1901)
