My first language is also not english but the problems is that
112 engines may give the impression that it is 112 authors

I meant to say that most of the engines still were not tested.

I can give a lot of names of programs that were not tested.

Some examples:
1)Francesca(the only first division program that was not tested)
2)Arasan(second division)
3)Exchess(second division)
4)Beowulf(second division)
5)Gaviota(second division)
6)Inmichess(second division)
6)Resp(third division but is going to promote and probably better
than a lot of second division programs)
7)Knight1.75a(playing in thethird division)
8)Ant(playing in the third division)
9)Movei(my program also third division)

For the divisions see http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/
You can find in the history pages a lot of weaker winboard
programs

Some examples from the 4th division:
1)Ufim
2)Gerbil
3)Faile
4)Monarch
