+               @internal:name
+                       An internal agent player
+
+                       These agents run within the qchess program (unless there is a timeout setting... never mind).
+                       
+                       Choices are:
+                       
+                       AgentRandom - Makes random moves only
+
+                       AgentBishop - Uses probability estimates and a min/max recursive (depth is only one) algorithm
+                                   - Will usually take a long time to run

+               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.
