IAGO has started a record and ranking/rating service that tracks games, and has a leaderboard. I figured a Geeklist would be a good place to list the games. Purists won't consider every game on this geeklist as abstract strategy game (i.e backgammon), but the idea was to be close enough to cover enough interest. All the games being tracked should be considered abstract strategy games by normal Boardgame Geek standards.
You can see the leaderboard here: http://leaderboard.iagoweb.com
Some of the games on the IAGO list of registered games, aren't included here, because no site that IAGO tracks has that game on it (like Xiangqi). You can see this list here can see it here: http://iagoweb.com/records/games
Games on multiple websites are currently part of this project. Note that not every game on the games list is part of the leaderboard yet. As games between two registered players on the IAGO site play one another, a game entry on the leaderboard appears. Also, not every game on there has a BGG entry on here. Top players get rated at each game, and IAGO has multiple ways players are ranked at strength across the board.
If you would like to get games ranked/records and help with this project, please follow these directions and sign up: http://iagoweb.com/wiki/docs/associations
The following sites are currently involved in this project: http://www.arimaa.com http://www.superdupergames.org http://www.iggamecenter.com http://games.wtanaka.com
If you have an account on any of these sites, the step should be fairly simple to do.
Ok, onto the list of games. This list will likely get more items on it as time goes on.

This is not a pure abstract strategy game, but being tracked due to its popularity.

Would be good. Sites would have to agree to be part. It is on the herding cats side to get people to agree to do it.
Number of games the Leaderboard tracks has increased beyond this Geeklist.
I also want to add signing up for the site is a bit tricky. People tend not to enter in the right IDs they use on the sites they play on.
