I didn't expect Nightmare to win this tournament with LCzero
Congrats to Nightmare!

I have two separate eval functions in Isa : for KBBk and KBNk ,as I've noticed they are so rare but , can happen, even in a swiss tournament, as you have noticed 😉
Pity I've missed this tounament, but sure I'll be here the next month 😊
