The Region Unknotting Game
Motivated by rcent work by A. Shimizu on a newly discovered unknotting operation and inspired by previous work on knot games, we introduce the Region Unknotting Game. We play the game on several types of knot diagrams, developing both our spatial intuition and our understanding of the structure of k...
