Replace the name of the game variant with a * in 'Game Filter' and click the 'Submit' box, then you will see the overall ratings. Playing random moves should result in a rating around 400 points below the weakest player in the pool (depending on how ratings are computed). For example, a ten year old child with an 800 rating has already mastered the Scholar's Mate and will attack the Queen with Knight. A 1200 to 1600 player, with a little practice, should win every game against a 2-ply depth search, which is consistent with a machine rating in the 800 to 1200 range.
