Oops, the notation I have shows also two connected passed pawns for black on e5
and f5.
What I wanted to stress is that on my SLOW K6 it takes Nimzo7.32 only 140sec to
change to Rc7, so with an P3-800 or an even faster machine it should take not
more than 30 seconds.
BTW Junior6 does not even consider that Ra2 and after that move...well, the red
light flashes. :-)
