Not true. Even if there is a 200-point ELO difference (and that would be VERY
generous -- although you don't say what hardware Scorpion was running on -- as
it would mean that Shredder's hardware was approximately 16 times faster than
yours), you would expect to score 1 point out of (about) 6 on average.

Well, you did say Scorpion was playing Black, so it would be a little tougher.
But certainly not 1 out of 100.
