November 2001 Tip of the Month: Board and Category

It is possible to set your preferred Category and Board settings as a default. This command is very useful for those users that have a favorite variant that they play often. Once you have your category and board set, if you type match or seek without category and board listed, it will use your default. For example: for default match and seek to be suicide, type:

set category suicide

For wild 1, type:

set category wild
set board 1

If you have a category set you will have to use seek chess or match <playername>chess when you want to challenge a blitz, standard or lightning game. To clear both board and category, use set category. To clear just the board, use set board.
