But then what's the point of playing? This is Chessbase for crying out loud. You don't think they have a few 'spare computers' with Shredder/Junior/Fritz?? Why do they have to take it to PC? I don't know. I have no idea what it's doing there. >It would be interesting to see how it fares against Nimzo too. If it doesn't >fare well against Nimzo, then what does that mean? If I had to guess, I would say Nimzo == Brutus. And I probably have a good explanation why. :) >>On 3 minute searches it's getting 11-12 ply.
