actually the whole idea of playing more games against nimzo was that,
before the release of gandalf they posted rather very impressive results of
gandalf against nimzo (6-1 for gandalf twice), that gave us an impression that
gandalf is significantly better than nimzo, and comparable with fritz6a
(according to the beta-testers).
I couldnt reproduce such result...

though I too believe games against other programs is necessary to draw any kinda
conclusion or even have a "good guess".

but I have gone through most of the games, couldnt find anything that might led
to "gandalf not liking nimzo style of play",

one thing for sure, it doesnt like short time control games ;)
