I am not wrong Nimzobook is a great book made solely according to the >stlye of nimzo. If I remember correctly, I think it was Dieepeven who stated that the difference between nobook/very small book (CM:s is 100kb) and a good book like the Nimzo book, could be up to 100 ELO. Might sound much but the difference from 5-5 to 5.5-4.5, in a match, is already 35 ELO. > >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. In the tournament mentioned, I see 3 differences compared to the "normal King". 1) Access to Tbs 2) Using the Nimzo book. 3) New settings (increased King Safety for sure).
