3.9 Invoking GNU Go: Command line options

3.9.1 Some basic options

3.9.2 Other general options

3.9.3 Other options affecting strength and speed

This single parameter --level is the best way of choosing whether to play stronger or faster. It controls a host of other parameters which may themselves be set individually at the command line. The default values of these parameters may be found by running gnugo --help.

Unless you are working on the program you probably don't need these options. Instead, just adjust the single variable --level. The remaining options are of use to developers tuning the program for performance and accuracy. For completeness, here they are.

The preceeding options are documented with the reading code (see Reading Basics).

3.9.4 Ascii mode options

3.9.5 Development options

3.9.6 Experimental options

Most of these are available as configure options and are described in Other Options.
