I thought there wasn't going to be a new version of Nimzo this year, or was that
last year (better guzzle more coffee)? There is something else, I didn't catch
how the rating difference was achieved. Was it through a single match, however
long, or was this done through several matches? I only saw it mentioned it was
120 points higher than Shredder but no mention of any other programs, so perhaps
this was a TPR from a match in which Shredder was clobbered, in which case it
could just be one of those things where one program has particular trouble
against another.
