No stellar performance from Lunar, but I at least got redemption for the bug that caused me to lose against rofChade at last month's CSVN tournament

Joost sorry for my ignorance but what is Belfish? :o

Edit: you explained this earlier:
Belfish is a modified Stockfish run on a very small computer by Wieland Belka who is also the author of 'Eichoernchen'.
Acording to his finger-notes Belfish runs on bigger hardware than before:

1: BelFish - a StockFish derivative, modified, maintained and operated by belka
2: experimenting with search and evaluation function, with NNUE databases, with small techniques for speeding up code execution, with compiling options ...
3: running on an AMD mini comp at 8 cores, Win11 Pro x64, 32 GB RAM
So it is a fully fledged Stockfish. :D

All due respect for the rapid progress of your brainchild Patrick. Nice work!
