Answers.Body: <p>I don't have an answer, but I can't make comments.  Neither of these two answers work for me.  I don't have an "edit" or "move" option on my toolbar, and when I when I do the "close engine" option, it only works for that one turn--i.e., the engine comes back on as soon as I make a move, so I would have to do it after every single move.  Like the original question, I can't find a way to do something that should be incredibly simple--just turn off the engine so I can play a 2-player game.  I have Arena 3.5</p>
  
  <p>Update:  I didn't find an answer how to do this in Arena, but in another thread I found a user recommended <a href="https://github.com/asdfjkl/jerry/releases/tag/v.102" rel="nofollow">Jerry</a> for this purpose, and it seems to work great.</p>

  In the `Engines` dropdown menu at the top of the screen, you can turn off the engine. This will allow you to make moves for both sides.
