I would write the proof as follows.

Assume x is the value of one move

Yours is not a proof because what follows is not just a single move of value x but a game tree of moves of various sizes, which need not even decrease constantly. Many years ago, Barry Phease was a bit farther by assuming a constant decrement and forming a sum. His was not a proof either because sizes of moves in the paths of the game tree need not decrease constantly.

Rather than being proofs, such arguments are plausible approximations.
