You can play rated games against the program. In this mode you can specify at which estimated Elo strength Kommodo should play.

 

You call up the dialog for rated games by Training – Rated Game.

 

The point of rated games is that both sides start from the same conditions.

 

If, for a game, you set a human bonus of xx seconds per move, then, unlike in normal games, this is not taken into account in rated games. Nor is the taking back of moves accepted in games in this mode.

 

This is not a mistake; it has been done on purpose. In any serious match or tournament game, then the rules do not allow a time bonus to the advantage of one side or the other. If that were the case, then the idea of equal playing conditions and the point of rated games would not be respected.
