match

Usage:  match <opponentname> [color] [board size] [time] [byoyomi minutes]
    'match' is for starting a game with an opponent. You can offer or decline
  a match request. Start a game with 'match', followed by the opponent's name,
  color you wish ( W or B ), board size, time (measured in minutes) for each
  player, and byoyomi minutes per player.  Example:   match ivy W 19 15 10
  If no boundaries are given, the default settings are:  board size = 19
  color = B, time = 90 minutes per player, byoyomi = 10 minutes per player.
      Example:   match ivy   (This is the same as:  match ivy B 19 90 10)
      Note:  match ivy B 19 0 0    would mean there are no time limits.
  The first move by B (Black) can be:  handicap #    (#) is the number of
  the handicap stones.  To place moves on the board, see:   help coords
