I looked at it and nimzo7.32 blundered by c3 with black.
It drew the game by building a fortress but it did not understand that the
position is a draw and it played for the right plan only because it did nt like
the alternative.

I do not know if nimzo8 is better in evaluating the relevant positions.

Nimzo7.32 won with white but the position was a tactical position that programs
like.
