With chess programs you only get probabilities of a particular result.

If you bought a pair of dice, rolled them once, and rolled snake eyes, you
wouldn't be bothered because you know that this can happen.

The same kind of thing is happens with chess programs.

In fact it's even worse.  Becoming confused because one program beats another
program in a game is like becoming confused because you roll a six-sided dice
and it comes up 1 or 2.  It can't come up 3.5 every time.
