U: Only unregistered players. #: Only the top (1), middle (2) or lower (3) third of users. B: Only users with bughouse partners set. ORDER OF DISPLAY s: Standard rating. b: Blitz rating. L: Lightning rating. A: Lists players alphabetically. l: Same as above but without rating/game info. [lower case "L"] FORMAT OF DISPLAY t: Terse. v: Verbose. n: Win-loss record. For example, "who aRsA" would display an alphabetical listing (A) of registered players (R) who are available for matches (a) along with their ratings from games using standard time controls (s). NOTE: both the capital letters and the order of the options are important, but you *may* use spaces between the various letters.
