Hi all, I want to focus your attention on Nimzo98. It seems to me that this program is very strong. It is doing between 150.000 and 190.000 NPS on my k6/200 and plays nice games, from my personal point of view even better games than Fritz5. I cannot reproduce a score like 6-0 against Nimzo that was mentioned in another thread here. Although Nimzo is not playing positional chess like Junior/Shredder or Rebel9, it plays not that senseless mainlines and plans like fritz5. In the moment e.g. it plays a good game against Rebel9 and evaluates with very high scores... It looks to me as is we have now a group of several TOP programs that could fight tough against each other 1.Rebel9 2.Hiarcs6 3.Virtual2 4.Shredder2 5.Nimzo98 6.Junior 7.Mchess7 I am not sure WHERE to rank junior exactly, as I have never played with it but I am sure the above few programs are together in a group I would call the "top-group" of the ssdf-list. Thanks to the programmers for their efforts ! This group of 7 gives me much more fun than all 7 places ranked by Lang-programs. Nothing against genius, but monotony is boring and variance is nice. What a pity that Virtual2 and Junior takes time. But we can buy the other programs.
