Six Weeks ago I matched Nimzo 8 Vs Junior 6 at G\60 using an AMD Athlon 800 MHz And the score after 75 games ended up with a slight advantage of 6.5 points for Nimzo 8. Then one week after that match, I decided to match the same two programs, but I used an AMD K6-2 500 MHz instead, and the score after 75 games ended this time in favor of Junior 6 by almost the same margin as the previous match. I realized that certain program benefit more than others as the speed of the processor increases, but I wasn't satified yet and decided to test the same two programs one more time with a slower processor this time. I asked my friend John to test these two programs again with his old Pentium Celeron 333 MHz at G\60 and after 9 games, Junior 6 was beating Nimzo 8 by W7 D2 L0 and, at that moment I decided to stop the match. I can only conclude that Nimzo 8 benefit more as the speed of the processor increase, therefore, Nimzo 8 will not have a great SSDF rating by the middle of February, but if you have a P.C. with a processors higher than 800 MHz Nimzo 8 is one of the few programs that benefit the most by using the latest technology available.
