In that case the word that was clicked can be incorporated in the message
sent to the ICS. E.g. to challenge a player whose name you click for a game,
or prepare for sending him a message through a 'tell' commands.
+@item Edit ICS menu
+@cindex Edit ICS menu, Menu Item
+Brings up an edit box with the definition of the @samp{ICS text menu},
+so you can adapt its appearance to your needs.
+The menu is defined by a semi-colon-separated list,
+each button through a pair of items in it.
+The first item of each pair is the text on the button,
+the second the text to be sent when the button is pressed.
+The word '$input' in the text will put that text in the input field
+of the @samp{ICS Chat/Console} with the cursor in that place,
+the word '$name' will be replaced by the word right-clicked
+to pop up the text menu.
+@item Edit Theme List
+@cindex Edit Theme List
+Brings up an edit box with the definitions of the themes
+shown in the listbox of the @samp{Board} dialog,
+so you can delete, re-order or alter themes defined previously.

The following items to set option values appear in the dialog
Each Swiss round will be considered a tourney cycle in that case.
Default:0
@item Number of tourney cycles
-@itemx Default number of Games
+@itemx Default Number of Games in Match
@cindex Number of tourney cycles, Menu Item
-@cindex Default number of Games, Menu Item
+@cindex Number of Games in Match, Menu Item
You can specify tourneys where every two opponents play each other multiple times.
Such multiple games can be played in a row,
as specified by the ‘number of games per pairing’,
Default is 1 cycle;
the number of games per pairing is the same as the default number of match games,
stored in your settings file through the @code{defaultMatchGames} option.
-@item Save Tourney Games
+@item Pause between Match Games
+@cindex Pause between Match Games, Menu Item
+Time (in milliseconds) XBoard waits before starting a new game after
+a previous match or tournament game finishes.
+Such a waiting period is important for engines that do not support 'ping',
+as these sometimes still produce a move long after the game finished because
+of the opponent resigning, which would be mistaken for a move in the next
+game if that had already started.
+@item Save Tourney Games on
@cindex Save Tourney Games, Menu Item
File where the tournament games are saved
(duplicate of the item in the @samp{Save Game Options}).
@itemx File with Start Positions
@itemx Game Number

but the second (even) games will select the same moves from the book as the previous game.
(Note this leads to the same opening only if both engines use the GUI book!)
Default: No game or position file will be used. The default index if such a file is used is 1.
-@item Disable own engine books be default
-@cindex Disable own engine books be default, Menu Item
+@item Disable own engine books by default
+@cindex Disable own engine books by default, Menu Item
Setting this option reverses the default situation for use of the GUI opening book
in tournaments from what it normally is, namely not using it.
So unless the engine is installed with an option to explicitly specify it should
is still highlighted. Also, unless @code{searchTime}
is set, the chess engine still keeps track of the clock time and uses it to
determine how fast to make its moves.
+@item -shoMoveTime true/false
+@cindex showMoveTime, option
+When this option is set the time that has been thought about the current move
+will be displayed behind the remaining time in parentheses (in seconds).
+Default: false.
