there is a method while playing with arena.go to move 30 for example. make a varient move yourself. it will ask you variation? overwrite. you select overwrite. done. you can proceed the game against the engine.

In WinBoard you would just click the menu item Edit Game in the position from which you want to play, and enterr your move. If you want to play against an engine, you could then click Machine Black or White, as is the case.

To effectively play without clock, you just switch off Auto Flag. The clock will remain running, but you will not be flagged after it reaches zero, but will be ignored.
