No, I am OK with two engines by the same author, as long as they are two different engines.

I am not OK with two identical engines, even from different authors, which is why I don't list Toga and Strelka.

I think there are still engines which will be able to push Comet and Sjeng out of top 50 when they are tested.
Like Glaurung 2. It's not *at all* the same engine as 1.2.1.
If that's the case, Goathmog should get a place too, may be also Viper.
Let me know if you find a copy of Gothmog somewhere on the internet.

Wait, did you say Goathmog? Is this perhaps a successor to Goatka? A cross between a dragon and a goat? Certainly sounds different enough to test. :D

I think Glaurung does a better job, though - the parallel stuff is practically identical, but it has more comments.

I had it on my old computer before it crashed. The new computer only goat 691 different engine versions and Gothmog isnt one of them.

Nope, no goat relations what so ever. Did you know that Romi is undergoing heavy rewrite? Michael's dad is in hospital, so he wont be working on the engine anytime soon. I am pretty sure that Leo Djiksman or Oliver Deville still goat a copy.
