It is easy:
1) Wow, you have played 9 games, amazing.
2) Have you ever seen Nimzo play endgames? Have you ever seen Nimzo WINNING at
least ONE endgame? I haven't. It is the worst endgame player I know between the
commercials. Then comes Junior 7...
3) Have you (like I have) seen Nimzo pondering absolutely bullshit? Expecting a
totally lost move by the opponent which f course did not happen on the board?

Nimzo might be strong enough for us patzers, but is clearly behind the top
programs.
