Or draw 6. (unless they don't understand repetition, in which case you can sometimes claim a draw in losing positions). I would be quite satisfied with myself if I would win 3/100 against the top programs, under strict tournament conditions. I think it could indicate master-level capabilities on the players part. It shows one could have won more if one was really concentrating! And now, for sure,(in your case) after all that practice! Against older programs, it's also quite good (e.g. genius rebel versions) I think it's good to practice against weaker programs, and to agree to enter complications sometimes. Then analyse those games with the top programs. I recently had a brilliant victory over Armagedon, but unfortunately it got erased! but even though I felt very good about my great masterly performance, I wouldn't be surprised if all top programs would show me that it was full of glaring holes, and outright stupidity.
