Things are not that simple. You need 2 programs in order to reproduce games. Nowadays programs have large books with lots of variations, where the moves are selected by (weighted) chance. You need a lot of luck to reproduce some variation in a match of 20 or 40 games as proceeded by the SSDF. On the other hand, computer chess is an attempt to simulate human chess. Usually a human player does know the opponent, and he has time to prepare. Exactly the same rules should apply to computer chess games. Sure, someone having time and resources to prepare thoroughly can improve his chances. That's life. BTW, wouldn't it be nice if Junior had known in some SSDF games that Comet is the opponent. This way, some draws could have been avoided. In human games, a grandmaster will neither repeat moves against an amateur to enforce a draw. Games could become more human-like.
