        <td><p>3</p></td>

	<link xref="moves#wait">waiting</link></p></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Check the <gui style="checkbox">Use safe moves</gui> and
      <gui style="checkbox">Use super safe moves</gui> checkboxes if you want
      your random teleports to be as safe as possible. This reduces the level
      of difficulty. You can always uncheck these if you find the game too
      easy.</p>
