Good questions, but only this first one applies.
The strong program was Many Faces of Go with (modified) MCTS
(from the official version MFoG 12.013).
The weak opponent was Many Faces of Go on a weaker level
(if I remember correctly it was level 12k or so). These
weaker versions are (still) included in MFoG 12.
I ran the two programs on different PCs of comparable strength.

Ingo.
