We must separate things : a chess program is born with a level, once you have it
on your harddisk, it won't make any progress (beside learning functions), so it
has a level that won't move (as Amir said).

A human needs experience, learning and work to reach this level, but once he HAS
this level he doesn't need a huge number of games to prove it.
