She's the original GM, the game can't progress without her, so any result it takes is her decision.
A gamemaster can't be in total control or the player would have no chances to win.
Plus a player is allowed to move his piece as he prefers and the game can't move without the player either (When in Ep 3 Battler stopped playing he stilled the game).
Also we are told the GM has to fight the risk of logic errors.
Most likely the difference between the GM and the player is that the GM can move more than one piece at time while the player can move only one at once, plus the GM created the setting in which the piece moves.
As a result it's easier for the GM to influence the play than for the player but the GM still has not complete control (which I guess is what makes this a play between two people and not a play against himself/herself)
