I remember people back in 2000 saying the same thing about Nimzo 8, but if you
have a powerful P.C. both are rated above 2650 against Humans and other
programs. What more do you expect? The criticism for Nimzo 8 was so bad, that
the SSDF did NOT even bothered to test it with their newer Athlon 1.2 Ghz what a
pity.
