Does >the patch improve the program, or only against other programs? I personally don't think Nimzo99 is worth the CD it's printed on. But if money is not a problem get it anyway. Every program I have has bugs in it and has strange quirks in it's play. For instance, don't depend on Junior5 for analysis if underpromotion is possible. It will definitely lead you astray. It also can't perform a Knight & Bishop mate. Nimzo99 seems to lose a lot of games to Junior5 and part of the problem is the "Hash Learning" feature is subject to losing it's memory if the program is terminated under unusual circumstances. Neither program comes with a database but you already have that. The bottom line is, the more programs you have the more confused you can make yourself :-) ..... Jim Walker P.S. I was once told a man who has a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is not sure !
