        --graphics
-               Disable/Enable the GUI
+               Enable the GUI
 
                If graphics are enabled (default), then the user will be prompted to choose any of the two players not supplied as arguments.
+
+       --no-graphics
+               Disable the GUI
+               
                
+       --reveal
+               If graphics are enabled, the two states for pieces will always be shown, regardless of whether both states have been revealed.
+               Note that this switch only affects the GUI and does not provide any information to agent players.
 
-       --file[=filename]
+               If graphics are disabled, has no effect.
+
+       --file[=filename][:events]
                Replay a game saved in file, or read from stdin if no filename given
+               If a number of events is supplied, the game will advance that many events before stopping.
+
+               If no players are given, the GUI will NOT ask for player selections.
+               The game will exit after the replay finishes. Events in the replay will be subject to the normal delay (see --delay).
+
+               If black and white players are supplied, the game will continue using those players.
+               In this case, there will be no delays between events in the replay (the game starts at the end of the replay)
+
+               (We hope that) this feature will be useful for comparing how different versions of an agent respond to the same situation.
 
        --log[=filename]
                Log moves to a file or stdout if no filename given
 
+

        --delay[=time]
                The game pauses between moves so that it can be followed by a human observer.
                This option can be used to change the delay. If no time is given, the delay is disabled.
