Yes, for one. 5 games are not really much for concluding anything, it's just the
tournament rules. (Although it should be noted that still_ the best come out on
top. :) Also I think J7 is playing unusually weak so far (have only seen it win
one game out of 8).
From my testing, N8 is not so weak as many think, I'd put it in the same league
as Shredder 5, but of course it's not as strong as Tiger or Fritz.

>Shep, were the Nimzo settings default, or did you use special settings?

I used the default settings (otherwise it would be mentioned in the program
name, such as "Nimzo 8 Shep" etc.).
