Most of these settings are only useful if you are working on
the program.

To answer your question, use --level n, where n is between 1 and 10.
When the level is decreased the program will play faster and weaker.

Levels above 10 will make the program play slower but will not
necessarily make it stronger, as far as we know. For the strongest
program use level 10.
