I meant this to be taken to apply only within games, not across them. As 
for its meaning, it means just that: if your proposed play would return the 
Board to precisely some Stone arrangement that has already occurred, then 
it's illegal. Don't worry, this sort of thing is only likely to happen on 
the very small scale. Once the game gets going, it should be almost 
impossible to return the board to a far earlier state.
