SO playing under CB gui makes program play better? I hope it was also the same for winboard enignes... ;) Nimzo book wasn't written for CM, if it's helping him, it might also put it into trouble. I am not wrong Nimzobook is a great book made solely according to the stlye of nimzo. don't get me wrong, i am not saying I am right about Theking312x, it just hard for me to believe that you could make it play so strong than it really is, by tweaking it's settings. Atleast for me, unless I get to test it myself. ;) pavs
