Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer and $f_1(x), f_2(x), \ldots, f_{n}(x)$ a sequence of polynomials with integer coefficients. One is allowed to make moves $M_1, M_2, \ldots $ as follows: in the $k$-th move $M_k$ one chooses an element $f(x)$ of the sequence with degree of $f$ at least $2$ and replaces it with $(f(x) - f(k))/(x-k)$.
