aka ProDeo 2.4
beta
As in the old Mephisto Polgar days you can now play elo-rated games but much more advanced. ProDeo 2.4 will play at you wished strength and you can gain or lose elo points. View the below screenshots to get an impression.

REMARKS
Prodeo 2.4 will exclusively run under Arena (pre-installed) and the first time you start Arena it will show a default rating of 1500 ELO. When this is way out of line with your own ELO edit the file player.txt with a text editor.
LIMITATIONS
There are a couple of annoyances because of the limitations an engine will face programming what actually is an interface (GUI) feature. Therefore while playing keep in mind the following rules:

BETA version
It's expected this first try is not without a few glitches here and there due to the nature of the feature. Interfaces (GUI's) don't communicate the many things the engine needs (no checkmate, not the various draw types, no clocks etc.) and it has been quite a job to get at least one Interface (Arena was the most suitable) to work with the ELO feature. Hence the beta status. There might be some unexpected quirks showing up. Please report them.
