-               Should be either a path to an executable file which will control the Red player, or "human".
-               If set to "human", stratego will request the user to make moves for the Red player using stdin.
-               NOTES
-                       1. There is no plan to support AI programs named "human". Deal with it.
-                       2. The graphical interface for human players is... basic. Deal with it.
+               Should be either a path to an executable file which will control the Red player, or "@human" or "@network[:IP_ADDRESS]"
+
+               If player is @human, then control will be given to a human, via stdin if graphics is disabled, or via "point and click" if graphics is enabled.
+               
+               If player is @network, then commands will be read from another copy of stratego accross the network.
+               In addition, commands from the other player will be sent accross the network to the connected stratego program.
+               
+               If no IP_ADDRESS is given, the program acts as the server, and accepts the first connection it receives.
+               If an IP_ADDRESS is given, the program attempts to connect as the client to the specified address.
+
+               Each player uses a different port; both players may be network controlled.

        blue_player
                As red_player, except for controlling the Blue player.

        In order to interface with stratego, an AI program must satisfy the following protocol. 
        Each query is followed by a newline, and responses are expected to be followed with a newline.
        The queries are recieved through stdin, and responses should be written to stdout.
