Yes, that's right.

There are 9 games posted on this link.

The 3 games Thomas is talking about are the only ones Chess Tiger for Palm lost.

Chess Tiger for Palm won all the other games!

The right way to compute a rating would be to take the average rating of the
opponents and to count a +6 =0 -3 victory of Chess Tiger for Palm against this
virtual everage player.

The rating would not be really accurate, but it would be better than the one you
get by selecting only the 3 lost games...
