Play Game - set initial Elo?

[gareth8118]

Hi there,

In the "Play Game" dialog, is there a way to set an initial Elo for a new player other than 1600? I am new to chess (and HIARCS) and I'm going to get battered playing "Match Player Strength" at 1600!

Cheers

The 1600 is for when you select custom you can then set it to whatever you wish. Match player strength will look at the way you play and try to play at the same level.
