+boards
+
+Usage: boards [category]
+
+ If category is given then this lists all available boards for that
+category. If the parameter is omitted, then this lists all available
+categories. The current board categories are:
+
+ standard
+ openings
+ wild
+ chessercizes
+ test
+ material-odds
+ misc
+
+ In order to find out what is loaded for one of these categories, type
+"boards <category>". For example, "boards openings" will list the various
+openings you can start a game from.
+
+ In order to start a game from one of these positions, you need to use all of
+the arguments in the match command and also include the board category and the
+specific board you want. For example:
+
+ match red 2 12 0 0 openings ruy-lopez
+
+would request a blitz match with user "red" starting with the "ruy-lopez"
+opening position.
+
+
+SPECIAL NOTE
+
+ At the moment, you cannot access these boards through the examine feature,
+only match.
+
+See Also: match wild
