+This option puts XBoard in a special mode for solving EPD test-suites,
+for the entire duration of the session.
+In this mode games are aborted after a single move,
+and that move will be compared with the best-move or avoid-move
+from the EPD position description from which the 'game' was started.
+Playing a best move counts as a win, playing an avoid move as a loss,
+and playing any other move counts as a draw.
+This option should be used in combination with match mode,

+Color assignment will be such that the first engine plays all moves,
+and the second engine will be never involved.
+The results for individual positions,
+as well as the time used for solving them,
+will be reported in the lower pane of the Engine Output window.
