It all depends what precision you're looking for. For a rating list that aims at a 20 Elo precision, 1000 games is fine. For fine-tuning an engine where you expect a change of the order of 5 Elo (and that is an optimistic case!), you need a lot more games.

The error levels decrease with the square root of the number of games, to reduce the error level from 20 points to 5 points you need to play 16 times more games (16,000 games).
