Sanny, assuming you are allowed to do this,
you should play a lot more than just three
games, if you want a reliable rating.
For instance, the USCF considers a player
to be "provisionally rated" until they have 20
rated games, and such ratings can fluctuate
wildly at first.
If you are really interested in an accurate
rating, you need to play opponents fairly
close to the same strength as your program,
so you win some, and lose some. In sum,
beating the 1500 player tells us very little we
don't already know (although it brings the
game total up by one).
If indeed FICS is reputed to give reliable
ratings comparable to USCF or FIDE, I may
just play a few games there myself, to see
where I stand (against humans).
Congratulations on winning all three games.
(My guess is that those people did not know
they were facing a computer, and made
crude tactical errors.)
