	The match command is used to start games. There are many refinements and supplements to this command. Some of the things that need to be considered are color, board size, time, handicap, adjournments, restart, and score. Please be sure to read the score command before starting your first game. Many people start games without reading the score command, and make assumptions about how scoring a game works. The result is often an incorrect score. For further information about playing, please read the section More About Playing Games.
