The problem is I have to do this after *every* move which is extremely annoying as I'm not always in the lucky situation to have two machines to test on. >>The sounds are also poor and don't attract my attention at all when I'm >>waiting for Nimzo to move.

Simply deleting "nimzo.wav" (or whatever it's called) helps. >>Sometimes the move output is silly; e.g. once I saw the pawn move >>"f7-f5" noted as "f7xf5" - Nimzo sometimes captures when there's no >>piece on the target square! :) > >I never saw that. I have seen it in every game. The pawn move was an exception, but often it says "Qf6xd6" when there's no piece on d6 and sometimes even "Qf6-d6" when there *is* a piece on d6... :-( If you never saw it, maybe it's CPU/OS related? >>A detailed review will follow as soon as I find the time. > >Don't forget to mention that the opening-book-editor disappeared from >the last Nimzo3/3.5!
