All checkerboard surfaces for a given knot in $S^3$ are related by isotopy and (geometric) ``kinking" and ``unkinking" moves, which change matrices representing the surfaces' Gordon-Litherland pairings like this: $G\leftrightarrow G\oplus [\pm1]=\left[\begin{smallmatrix} G&\mathbf{0}\\ \mathbf{0}^T&
