Gull is great...
very clean...well thought out, etc.
i like it!!

but the source code similarities to Strelka confound!?

is there an explanation, notes, documentation?
who cares!
i don't!

most importantly...the CCRL and CEGT are testing it!
yes!

great work ThinkingAlot!
brand new engine in the top 5
(along wth Houdini)!

Congrats Vadim!
great potential here...looking forward to where this engine takes us!
(#1...?!)
