This short match on Pentium III 933 MHz clearly support by point that as the processor's speed increases Nimzo 8 benefit more than Junior 6, but on the AMD K6-2 450 MHz which is what the testers from the SSDF are currently using Nimzo 8 will suffer considerably. http://www.computerschach.de/tourn/cad2001/cad2001.htm >>Pichard >>> >>>Venlig hilsen >>> >>>Hans Christian Lykke (SSDF) >>> >>>> >>>>PS: I am still convinced that Nimzo 8 is one of the few programs just like >>>>Gandalf 4.32 that benefit the most by using the best hardware available.
