It seems that you simply do not have enough games to know.
It is known that quark is in the premier division.

The difference between programs in the premier division is too small to get
conclusions from 17 games.

I do not think that the win of Quark against Gandalf is a big surprise.
Gandalf may be the favourite but not by a big margin.
