Nope, "weaker". Well, you know the standard: Fritz, Junior, Hiarcs.

The statement was Nimzo 99 is weak at *blitz* time controls, and becomes very
strong at tournament controls, often beating Hiarcs in tournaments I ran.
In earlier blitz tournaments I ran Nimzo 99 performed around 2000-2100 in the
field of Fritz, Junior, Hiarcs and the like, performing around 2500. That's why
I "gauged" to compare for myself.

(If Kasparov plays a 2300 player, he should perform 2850, and the 2300 player
should perform 2300, else they don't get their money. Period. No mercy)

No, the native one, ready for use under the Fritz GUI.
