You have to give some players credit for being really good at a variant (or just farming it), players like @pknm, @EZ2468, @home163, and @Chat_Banned that have all gotten 2600+ ratings in fiesta (I probably missed some, don't care), and then there's @ScatteredWealth, with a rating of around 2850 (but with a Glicko RD of 85), @BoxJellyfishChess, with a rating that used to fluctuate around 2920 (100+ Glicko RD, just like all of his variants ratings), and @N_A_V_A, who has gotten 3K just by mostly playing fiesta (not much solo, also only like 70 Glicko RD?).
And then when we look at other variants...
- Tame the Beast - I refuse to show the name of 3v1ers who gave me a -40
- WFT II (QuickThrone) - @grable with 3k+, but used to have consistent 130+ Glicko RD, also @TheChessDude991, although he doesn't play much QuickThrone now, whose rating went up by a hundred or so just by playing QuickThrone All Week
- The Four Horsepoop - @qilp with 2847
you dont , you can play fiesta, standard or idk
