If the relevant information is correct then it means that gandalf played 72
games against a Shredder personality when it played less games against other
opponents.

If Gandalf has some problem in the learning function it means that programs that
played more against it got unfair advantage.

I trust more the ssdf list.
The number of games between programs in that list is not fixed but at least I do
not see there 72 games between 2 programs.
