$A_1A_2A_3A_4$ is a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in circle $\Omega$, with side lengths $A_1A_2 = 28$, $A_2A_3 =12\sqrt3$, $A_3A_4 = 28\sqrt3$, and $A_4A_1 = 8$. Let $X$ be the intersection of $A_1A_3, A_2A_4$. Now, for $i = 1, 2, 3, 4$, let $\omega_i$ be the circle tangent to segments$ A_iX$, $A_{i+1}X$, and $\Omega$, where we take indices cyclically (mod $4$).

Some domino pieces are placed in a chain according to standard rules. In each move, we may remove a sub-chain with equal numbers at its ends, turn the whole sub-chain around, and put it back in the same place. Prove that for every two legal chains formed from the same pieces and having the same numbers at their ends, we can transform one to another in a finite sequence of moves.
