Swordfish 14.5, Blue Marlin 14.5

At the beginning I would like to point out that Swordfish and Blue Marlin are not stronger than Stockfish. If you are looking for more Elo you may not be interested. The purpose of these engines is to provide interesting and effective chess games. Swordfish and Blue Marlin are engines based on Stockfish and ideas used in Bluefish by Eelco de Groot.

Swordfish has a reasonable balance between strength and tactical abilities. It still has solid style of playing and achieves good results in test suites. It can be useful for analyzing sharp positions where regular Stockfish can overlook some tactics.

Blue Marlin is more focused on king attack and sacrifices. It provides very sharp and attractive games.
