Base anything on a _lot_ more than one game. Imagine you have two copies of Chess Tiger both running on equal hardware. They would score 50% against each other, correct? After all, they are the same program. Suppose you give one copy of CT a computer twice as fast as the other copy's computer. It turns out that the faster computer will win only 60-65% of the time! Now suppose you give one copy of CT a 700mhz machine and the other copy a 450mhz. The 700mhz machine will only score 55-60% against the slower machine. So, even if Chessmaster and Chess Tiger are of equal strength, Chess Tiger on the slower machine has at least a 40% chance of winning. How can you therefor conclude after one game it is stronger?
