Subject: question to Nimzo 8 users

I've read Nimzo 8 uses the "NCD" tablebases (AFAIK all 4-piece and a few 5-piece
tables) which it puts into RAM completely and accesses it - unlike other progs
using the nalimovs - in quiescence search, too.

Did you notice something special in Nimzo 8's endgame play related to that? Do
you have examples where you thought, this may have been an effect of theses NCD
tables?

(I have ordered Nimzo 8 and would like to read some impressions, until it
arrives :o))

In addition to that, I'd also appreciate general impressions of Nimzo 8. I have
tested a very similar program of Ch.Donninger, "Schach dem Schweinehund", which
IMO is tactically equal to Fritz 7 and Fritz 7 NoMMX. IOW, a top speed
combinator.

Thanks,
M.Scheidl
