Hello Dragos, I tried to e-mail some documentation to you from former
Nimzo-Werkstatt site, in German, about Che++ but e-mail bounced. Mail
administrator at wizard.net did not recognize your given e-mail address
vbro007@wizard.net.

I posted the documentation here some time ago but there were some concerns about
copyright about that.

Anyway I think Che++ goes much further than just your average personality
settings, but I don't own Nimzo so wouldn't know how easy it is to add knowledge
into Nimzo and if it slows program down etc. But if you have other e-mail
address I could post the comments from the Nimzo site to you. Maybe the
translator page from Frank Quisinsky mentioned a couple of messages below here
could be useful if German is a problem.

Regards, Eelco
