I did:

"Please also read README.lgeneral for further instructions
on how to play the game."

I don't think it is helpful if we repeat the same information over and

engine's commands and it is not a replacement for other documentation.
There are two README files under /usr/share/doc/lgeneral and after
reading them everyone should now be able to play the game.
