The differencation of Fritz/Nimzo from the rest of the "intelligent" group (Junior, Virtual2, Shredder2, Mchess7, Rebel9, Hiarcs6) is from my point of view maybe old fashioned, but not wrong. Of course also the intelligent programs were able to profit from new search-ideas. Of course they also try to make their program faster (Chris is an exception here...:-) but it is not so far to speak from a day when Fritz5 and Nimzo3.5 will be in ONE group with the intelligent ones. I know the high NPS of Rebel and Junior confuses many people, but thats not my problem. I have replayed the Paris games and I do not believe a second that you can call junior as stupid as fritz. Sorry Moritz, Dirk, Matthias, but only my opinion. I do not say goodbye to the dualistic point of view in computerchess...not yet.
