I have noticed that the GNU Chess command line version supports the
"rating <computer> <opponent>" option.  I that in this manner I can
dumb the computer down to a skill level where I can beat it.  Why do I
supply the opponent rating?

My question is, how can I set this rating when running GNU chess from
Xboard?  Apparently I can't set the rating command through the command
line, and I don't suppose there's a way to set it from Xboard.

I have Xboard 4.2.6 and GNU Chess 5.07.

Thanks!
