other than the fact that theking engine itself is very good at endgames, i
wonder how much stronger does TBs make the program play?

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. ;)
