That's still pretty mind-bending, but a hell of a lot clearer than any of the pages I read about them.

So is the value of a game basically how worth your while it is to make a move in it? Measured by how many options or possibilities your move will open up for you? (I imagine if in one of the two chess games you were nearly beaten and your options were closing down, but the odds were more even in the other one, that other one would be more valuable to move in?) Or am I taking it too literally?
