--description--

Given a 2D array representing a sequence of dominoes, determine whether it forms a valid chain.

• Each element in the array represents a domino and will be an array of two numbers from 1 to 6, (inclusive).
• For the chain to be valid, the second number of each domino must match the first number of the next domino.
• The first number of the first domino and the last number of the last domino don't need to match anything.

--hints--

isValidDominoChain([[1, 3], [3, 6], [6, 5]]) should return true.

assert.isTrue(isValidDominoChain([[1, 3], [3, 6], [6, 5]]));

isValidDominoChain([[6, 2], [3, 4], [4, 1]]) should return false.

assert.isFalse(isValidDominoChain([[6, 2], [3, 4], [4, 1]]));

isValidDominoChain([[2, 5], [5, 6], [5, 1]]) should return false.

assert.isFalse(isValidDominoChain([[2, 5], [5, 6], [5, 1]]));

isValidDominoChain([[4, 3], [3, 1], [1, 6], [6, 6], [6, 5], [5, 1], [1, 1], [1, 4], [4, 4], [4, 2]]) should return true.

isValidDominoChain([[2, 3], [3, 3], [3, 6], [6, 1], [1, 4], [3, 5], [5, 5], [5, 4], [4, 2], [2, 2]]) should return false.
