Playing a Rated Game

If you dare playing a real game against an engine, you can go to this dialog with File arrow New rated game.

You can select your playing colour yourself or let Arena do a random choice.

You see no mainlines of the engines in this mode and can not undo moves. If you play against an UCI engine, you can abort a game only by resigning. If you have a WinBoard engine as opponent, you can also offer your opponent a draw. Please note that some engines don't support this feature.

If your opponent accepts the draw offer, the game will be considered a draw immediately.
