 Formalisation of the game Havannah
Now we can define the set of all games as sequences of board positions, where the first position is the empty board and the last position does not have any valid proceedings.
Although the previous section defines the set of all legal Havannah games, we could still continue with formalizing how a game is played between two players.
A player is defined as a mapping of all game board positions to a proceeding game board position that would represent the move that the player would make in the given situation.
