I figured that since Nimzo 8 never was tested beyong a AMD 450 Mhz its performance on the SSDF was 2554 very POOR. I never saw Nimzo 8 being tested using the newer AMD Athlon 1200, so I decided to test it using LONG time control of average 4 minutes per move. I started yesterday and so far here are two games against FRITZ 7 ! PS: I won't draw any conclusion yet, but there is a good indication that Nimzo 8 can climb the top of the SSDF if they decide to test it on Athlon 1.2 Ghz.
