I can see Fritz and Tiger being labelled as a favorite, but Nimzo 8's only real test in competition was the WCCC and it feel flat on it's face. I love the Nimzo programs, but really it didn't do well there, and I do not expect to see it do well here. ChessTiger is playing unbelieveably well, ans as a beta tester, I know the raw power that comes from it. I would have to say it is extremely stronger than the version 12.0e that was out last year, and took #1 on the SSDF list. Tiger II version 13.0 is incredible. My point was proven as I am running it on a PIII 450 and I easily beat 1Ghz machines all the time, and actually up until last night was _undefeated_ on Chess.net after almost 150 games. I am in the top 5 on FICS with it. Look at Species(C) on FICS, or Webkikr(C) on Chess.net to see how well it is doing. Both accounts are doing very well. I would have to say that Tiger will win. Fritz is a possibility as well, but my money is on Tiger. At the final roar, I think Tiger will be champ.
