Okay, here are some details:

The example I wrote about was connecting to chess.net with

"./accuclock -p 5500 &" (the timeseal program of chess.net)
and then
"xboard -ics -icshost localhost -icsport 5500 -ncp -sgf record.pgn"

1) Is this the same as playing locally against a chess engine?
   So why does xboard NOT know the ratings when playing but KNOWS them
   when saving (with "Save Game") a game that was examined 
   (e. g. with examine playername #gamenumber)?

2) If there is no possibility to avoid the described behaviour, can I start
   xboard in another way so that accuclock still works but xboard is not
   playing locally (and therefore the ratings can be auto-saved)?
