I've played a few games against the computer. It recorded two of them, one win and one loss, that I cn see on the main page under Games. But it still says my score is (the arbitrarily assigned) 400. I'm a total beginner and so I played a bot that was rated 400 - whouldn't it have given me 16 points and made my score 416 (or parhaps it uses 32 for newbies) ? Also I notices in the stats it doesn't show any games played. I want play the bots for a while and establish a rating; then track my progress from there.
No, the Computer bots do not impact rating.
