today I received the new press release from Ossi Weiner. He wrote, that the
Nimzo-Program from Chrilly Donninger should be available at the end of january
99. It`s named NIMZO 2000 (!!!!) ;-). On the CD-Rom the user can select between
two possibilities :

1.) Nimzo 2000 with the well known interface of Nimzo 98.

2.) Winboard - Engine NIMZO 2000 with an converter for the Millennium Chess
System. It`s possible, to use this engine under winboard or as an engine for the
new Genius 6. On the CD-Rom is also a new opening book available .....

If this is right, it seems, that Nimzo is the most present chess program on the
market ....

I have seen this statement in CSS. In my experience it`s better, not to believe
everything what you can read ......;-). I asked Mr. Weiner and he told me, that
this message in CSS must be a missunderstanding and they will definitive publish
NIMZO2000.

Have fun
