In about 2 weeks gandalf will be released too. Dont be surprised it its even stronger than Nimzo8. The only differance between nimzo8 and gandalf is that nimzo8 has better publicity (and chessbase name tag) then gandalf. I believe gandalf will be a *very* interesting program. I dont think fritz7 and Shredder 5 will be a little bit stronger after the release of nimzo8 because of the fact that they will have chance to test it against nimzo8. because..... nimzo8 is supposed to be a bit stronger that fritz6 (according to chessbase) fritz7 is already a lot better than fritz 6 (according to amir ban and other beta-test reviews) shredder 5 (IMO) is resaobaly ahead of nimzo 8. also note that 2 months is a very small time for testing ,finding weakness for a perticular program ,then tweaking your program against it, and then making it available in production for release.........its a long way . If I were you then I would wait for shredder 5. It was kinda mistake in my half to buy shredder 4 (just because of nimzo ) i should have waited. Pavel
