Thanks a lot for testing it, this engine has not been updated for a long time (*) but the rating isn't too bad!

Welcome! Only 640 of those games are mine, I only tested it versus nearby opponents in my selection of free engines. Though now Kiwi 0.6d is included in this comparison, so it will play more games whenever an engine of similar strength will need opponents.
BTW, this can be seen on the rating graph on
Kiwi 0.6d details page. In the "Rating changes by day" plot, the blue line shows number of games played (though no axis markings for it, and not explained anywhere yet).

(*) Kiwi might get an update soon, as it recently lost its first official game for a rare year-old bug that I never fixed...

Hm..

Kiwi has 38 points to gain before it can catch Arasan (as they currently stand). Actually a few engines of about Kiwi strength are now missing from the list, but hopefully will be added soon. Then there will be more action there.
Looking forward for a stronger Kiwi! (Even though I like Hamsters as well!)
Best,
Kirill
