cbest L
     Using the L flag will show the 20 highest-rated computer players for the
     losers chess variant. Since there are very few computers playing losers
     chess, a typical display is:

                                 Losers          
                           1. VariantDemon 2664  

cbest LBb
     The L and B flags will allow displaying the computers best lists for
     both the losers and bughouse chess variants, while the b flag will show
     the best list for blitz chess. Since few computers play bughouse or
     losers chess, a typical display is:

         Blitz                   Bughouse                  Losers
