Does the CV site here rate players across a range of chess variants so it
is able to determine who the strongest player is at chess variants in
general?  If so, I am curious how.  I was looking for a way that you could
have an ELO-type system that would factor the strength of a player across
multiple chess variants (or other games), rewarding stronger play over a
range of games, as opposed to someone dedicating to a few.

Any ideas on how to do this, or how the CV site does?

Rich, look here: /play/pbmlogs/ratings.php

Joe, does that rate people playing ALL variants of chess under one rating
or has a unique rating for each game? I assume that it is for the former.

Rich, if you'll look at the page Joe mentioned, you'll see 'You are
viewing ratings based on a wildcard that includes all Chess variants played
on Game Courier. This is not as meaningful as ratings based on a single
variant, which you may find by clicking on the Ratings link above the board
in a preset.'

Thanks.  We are looking for a rating involving multiple games that rewards
players playing multiple games, for the IAGOweb.com website.
