I didn't mean that you couldn't change the engine in those 6 months. Just that
it would have to be publicly known that you have authored an engine, and that
people can check it out. This, however, might rule out people like Bruce
Moreland who don't make their engine public, and that's not acceptable. But he
is well established. Perhaps playing for a certain period of time on ICC or FICS
could substitute.
