The more specific the application of a rule the more restrictive the rule. A rule that allows a variable (X) to be placed only in the spot 2 or else 7 is very restrictive; similarly, a rule that makes it impossible for 5 of the 7 variables to be placed in a position is restrictive. You can divide the game board into two possible alternatives in both of these situations (assuming a single variable per position). Less restrictive rules would allow more possible game boards to exist and therefore would be less helpful in splitting the board.
