In Response To: 5 Positions from Superbackgame (Stick)

I have a question about how you approached studying these positions. In an earlier thread, the one where you introduced the position from which these sprang, you wrote:

I have now played out this position too many times to count and straightened out what was for me a staggering PR to something respectable. I am going to post 5 problems per post until I get bored of posting positions that stemmed from this original position.

But about the five problems, you wrote:

I doubt I will do rollouts as I wouldn't completely trust them even with the highest settings and that would waste a lot of processor time.

I'm wondering how you improved your PR (or maybe I should be asking why you bothered to improve it), if you don't trust what XG is telling about the position. I don't mean this as a gotcha question. I'm really curious about what you did here.
