Not so sure about it being the older Nimzo version... (a) The database attached lists games by Nimzo 3 and 3.5 (b) It seems to be tactically very sharp (admittedly I tried out only several positions on it) on an AMD K6/233. E.g. it solves the Sarychev brothers endgame position in only 2 secs! (WKd7, Wpc7 / BKf3, Bbh7, Bpb7 -- sol. 1.Kc8!), and has no problems with the null move that Fritz and CM have -- an example to illustrate this - WKf2, WRd4, Wpb4 / BKh1, BRg6, Bph2,a6,b5 -- sol. 1.Rd1+...2.Rf1!!! And, please, let me know what time controls you use when scoring 80% vs this program. Also, which machine you run it on. I am about 2250 on FICS at blitz, and 2210 at lightning and must say that I have problems. Played only a handful of games vs it though. Thanks for the info and best regards.
