I am sure that there WAS a real improvement in playing strength over the
last year!

My opinion as a beta tester of Nimzo98 (aka Hydra) is that this program
is much stronger than Nimzo 3 (from Jakarta). And despite of all
improvements it only got to the 8th place (Jakarta = 3rd). My conclusion
is that the opponents are stronger, too , and in addition to this the
number of 'really weak' participants has become very small...
