Number of games necessary to get approx PR

How many games would you deem necessary to get a decent approximation of your PR against XG? Let's say you play a 5 to 6 PR, and want to have something like a 95 % confidence level of being within 0.2 of the true value. The opponent is XG in every game.

I realize some other factors come into play, but just assume the "average" case.

What would be your guess/estimate?
