I guess that it depends on the time control and when the time control is slower
the top program of today is going to have better results.

If you play
1 second per move for Gambit2 against 1000 second per move for Genius2 then I
expect Genius2 to win convincingly.

If you play 180 seconds per move for Gambit2 against 180000 seconds per move for
Genius2 then I expect a result of 50%.
Unfortunately one game in the last case may take some monthes.

I can add also that Genius2 is less than 20 years old.
