If we're merely looking at the result, then yes
there are only log2(3)=1.58 bits  of information in
the 1:0 datum. But we're looking at the entire game
which contains hundreds of times more information.
It is only if you merely add results and ignore the
game content that you need hundreds of games to get
a reasonable sense of strength.
