Theorem elpg

Description: Membership in the class of partisan games. In John Horton Conway's On Numbers and Games, this is stated as "If L and R are any two sets of games, then there is a game { L | R } . All games are constructed in this way." The first sentence corresponds to the backward direction of our theorem, and the second to the forward direction. (Contributed by Emmett Weisz, 27-Aug-2021)
