Hi!

Yes, you are right about Nimzo except that I believe it is a tad stronger on
tournament time control. I thinh it is only Thorsten that knows it is a top
program and he has already played six games.

Everything indicates that Shredder5, Deep-Shredder and Shredder5.32 are almost
identical in playing strength.

I am a bit disappointed with Goliath1.5 because I have played a few houndred
games with it and I believed it was a bit stronger (infact it was ver. 1.2).
But now I have seen your results and C. Lieberts results so I guess you are
right.

Have you compared your list with Gerhard Sonnabend's excellent list, the results
are surprisingly similar I think, so I believe you can stop calling the list the
"fun list" and rename it to the propher name Chessfuns list.
