It comes with the 32 bit GUI but it has flaws and they haven't taken the time to put out a patch for it yet(Not talking about the engine which did have a patch). Both Junior and Fritz beat Nimzo like they own it. I'm suspicious that the rating is below Nimzo98. I would like to see some test done soon. It's just like the Junior 5 package. No database,no endgame CD but the price is higher than Fritz 5.32 which comes with both and works better. I had trouble with the "Hash learning" function. When the program terminated unexpectedly (Like with Auto232 games) it would sometimes save the CBNIMZO.LRN file with "0" bytes losing all the learned info. Then in a later game it would store info and look normal again. Running it in the Fritz 5.32 GUI works better and I haven't had an unusual termination lately. Jim Walker
