Help needed to understand GnuBg rollout from 2006

In Response To: Rollout (Stick)

I have three questions pertaining to Stick’s GnuBg rollout from 2006:

1. Although it is described as “3-ply (precise),” is this really a standard GnuBg 2-ply affair?

2. Was variance reduction used?

3. What is meant by, “5184 games (equiv. 165175 games)?”

Thanks in advance.

Mike
