Series (best of n games) support

This would address issues with Variants having strong bias and people just abandoning games. It also has obvious benefits in the general case. If a player leaves/drops they lose up to best of n games worth of points, but I guess the winner shouldn't get those default points? Maybe there is no way to make this fair, but I thought it would be interesting to discuss. :D
What do you mean variants having strong bias? And what is stopping you from simply agreeing to a best-of-n series with a person now?
Atomic and Horde don't have the normal bias for white, their bias is stronger, which gives a greater incentive to play only as white because ratings don't take the bias into account.

it's not enforced in the game logic, maybe you would do it, but don't want to look at chat, etc etc.
