Dear Jorge, I've been playing 2 correspondence games apiece against both Fritz 6a and Nimzo 7.32. See the Campbell Report at the Correspondence Chess.com site for these games. As such, the chess engines were mated to a Pentium III 500 computer and allowed to compute for 17-22 hours per move. My perceptions were that Nimzo 7.32 was the superior tactician while I sensed that Fritz 6a had greater technical skills. In short, Fritz seemed "smarter" than Nimzo, but Nimzo was the better tactician...it's certainly naturally more agressive. However Nimzo 7.32's clear weakness was in static positions. This is in stark contrast to what you wrote, so perhaps the perceived difference is due to the extended time given the chess engines to operate, versus OTB time control. All the best, Stephen Ham
