Don't know either. It seems they were careful not to mention the original
version number.

Btw. recently I found a similar offer which may be interesting:

http://www.bhv.net/bhv/software/hobbyfr_7708_2.html

I saw that on a shop's shelf too. It's obviously Nimzo 8 (for EUR 14,99); maybe
a good chance if it's not yet in the collection. Most probably this will be the
last Nimzo (software only) version. I have it and it's still very useful i.e.
for tactical analysis, or as a comparison for new strong amateur engines.

For example, a good result of N8 at 40/1h, P3/700:
