I owned both programs for over 6 months and I have matched them more than 300 times and in total there is no more than a small percentange of wins for Fritz 6a over Nimzo 7.32. The only reason why Fritz 6a rating is so inflated is because certain programs do not know how to handle Fritz 6a tactical punch whereas Nimzo 7.32 given more time to think a position such as in overnight analysis provide a better game than fritz 6a. Now having this info, I can only assume that Fritz 6a calculate at a faster rate and deeper than Nimzo 7.32 at a given time, but as processor speed increases, Nimzo program will benefit more than fritz as long as it can reach a deeper position withing a given time control. There should be a way to force Nimzo 7.32 to calculate deeper using a short time control such as in standard time control, specially using today fastest processors such as the new Athlon running at 1.2 GHz. PS; But even with the slow AMD 450 MHz the 82 points difference between Nimzo 7,32 and Fritz 6a is not accurateaccording to the latest SSDF rating system. Pichard.
