GambitSoft first announced Nimzo 8 to be released at the end of August, then it was postponed to Middle of October, later on to Beginning of November. There are possibly two reasons why Nimzo 8 has not been released yet: 1st. Either Dr. Donninger was totally disatified after the result of WCCC and is trying hard to improved Nimzo 8 to the point where it is not just a little bit better than Fritz 6a according to Chess Base, but to make it a solid program all around in which it would not be trounced by a simple King side attack such as in the game versus Patzer or versus Gambit Tiger when it Sac the rook for the Knight. 2nd. Another reason could be that Dr. Donninger just before releasing Nimzo 8 found an astonishing improvement and decided to wait and implement his later discoveries and it is taking more time than expected to incorporate his improvements. PS: Whatever the reason is, in order for Dr. Donninger to keep his loyal customers happy, he needs to make an explanation soon, or people will start taking their order back and wait for Fritz 7 to arrive which is around the corner.
