The only supported way to change the strength is by varying the level
(--level). The others change specific pieces of the engine, with defaults
deternmined by the level.
The level defaults to 10, and can be varied from 1 to 10.
In general the others should be left alone.
Hope this helps, and enjoy playing with GNU Go!
