You say:"little work done on the engine". This is something that you cannot know. bigger improvement does not mean more work and you cannot decide based on the improvement how much work was done. Even if the engine has the same strength it does not mean that the engine is the same and we do not know that the engine has the same strength but only that the difference is too small to prove it by the ssdf games.
