Did I do a rollout? Well, yes and no.

All I did was XG roller+, which I believe is a fast short truncated rollout, which I believe is effectively very similar to getting an evaluation on a higher ply.

No, I did not do a full rollout. When the margin is greater than 0.100, I think a full rollout is not necessary to know the best play. There may be some positions that XG+ would be off by more than 0.100, but this is not one of them.
