In my opinion -21 Elo to Stockfish is a good result for a very sharp style playing engine as Blue Marlin 14.7.
There are some nice games here, even draws. For interested: check for example games 297, 133, 277, 285 in the PGN.

Note:
Due to a bug (probably wrong settings of a match or maybe GUI bug?) the match was going fine till 255th game, 256th game was played without a book, from 257th game it started again the first position from DOTS4. This should not have a significant impact on the result of the match, but it does mean that 72 positions from the book were not played at all and some were played twice. I must look into the problem in next match.
