the trick is to do so many games that those lucky wins/loss even out.

Right, I havn't even reached 2300elo yet, how should I judge a prgram that plays
2500 strength ? I can say that
"This program is somewhere around 2300-2500" or "I like the style of the
program" or "I think it does well with opposite castled kings" but I can't give
its elo strength within +-30 points.
