help play2 (continued from `help play1')

Once you have configured a board, take it to a convenient room (such as the
Gaming Room or your home), `drop' it and `go' to it.  A large number of game
commands will then become available to you; you can see which ones are
possible in a given situation with `help here'.

To begin, you will probably need to `reset' the board, `flip' a coin to decide
who plays first, have all players `join' in sequence, and then have the first
player `start'.  When a game starts, players' choices for things like time
penalties and ratedness are checked.  If players are not in agreement, they
will be told so and given an opportunity to use the `option' command to change
their options.
