One thing is not clear to me. They say "We play it against other engines over tens of thousands of games per match-up, and score every engine on eXtreme Gammon's own 1,720 rolled-out positions".

Can someone clarify this? Does it mean that the "thousands of games" were played from 1,720 positions as starting positions, instead of starting from the normal opening position?

If so, how is doing so is any better (or worse) in terms of eliminating (or introducing) bias?
