Originally posted by John1916For example for tutoring. In a game in which you give or receive advice or hints while the game is going on, the outcome may not reflect the playing strength of the players, so it makes sense to make it unrated. Unrated games, especially set-piece games, are also useful to try out certain openings, practise endgames or try out variations of a game you have played.
why do people play unrated games?
