You can use the Nimzo 8 book with other programs, by just selecting it as the
book to use. Simple as that.

As for the Nimzo is not great at blitz, I am not surprised, as Nimzo 7.32 was
not a great blitzer, yet was very good at longer time controls.

In my experience with Nimzo 8, it has done just fine in blitz games over ICS,
yet is a monster at standard games via ICS. In fact it has yet to lose a game
>10 mins per side.

I do notice that it doesn't handle fischer time control well. Often it has to
much time left at the end of the game.
