At the moment I try this position with Nimzo 7.32+TBs on my old K6-200 and the eval drops from +0.02/11/20sec to -3.90/12/1min38 and after 2min20 changes to Rc7 with increasing eval. Your computer is certainly much faster, I guess at least 4x, so within few seconds Nimzo should have found that Ra2 loses. What happened?
