A 100 ELO difference is about a player twice as stronger. With a 100 ELO difference, Stockfish would have won some games.

28Win 72Draw and O Loss in my opinion reflects at least 300 ELO (8 times stronger).



Elo is not a matter of opinion. There's a formula for it, and 28 wins, 72 draws and 0 losses represents almost exactly a 100 point Elo difference.

You are right, thank you for the pointer.

I guess that the spectacular 28-0 was somehow confusing my ELO opinion engine by concealing the fact that 72 draws are a lot more difficult to achieve than 12 draws (28-12-0 would have been a 300 ELO difference).
