Actually the move from kdelibs is the Move is there because it's the kdegames 
Move menu so you should translate it as "Zug". If you see kdelibs4.po it says

#. i18n: tag text
#. i18n: file ./kdeui/xmlgui/ui_standards.rc line 83
#: rc.cpp:225
msgid "&Move"
msgstr ""

where ./kdeui/xmlgui/ui_standards.rc line 83 is

 <Menu name="move"><text>&amp;Move</text>
    <Action name="move_repeat"/>
    <Action name="move_undo"/>
    <Action name="move_redo"/>
    <MergeLocal name="move_undo_merge"/>
    <Separator/>
    <Action name="move_roll"/>
    <Action name="move_end_turn"/>
    <MergeLocal name="move_turn_merge"/>
    <Separator/>
    <Action name="move_hint"/>
    <Action name="move_demo"/>
    <Action name="move_solve"/>
    <MergeLocal name="move_solve_merge"/>
    <Separator/>
    <MergeLocal/>
  </Menu>


and all those actions are the kdegames actions.

It would be good adding some context to the message saying it is the kdegames 
Move, not sure if that can be done, i'll check.
