Hello Rob,
I've played 70 games between them at various time controls (F5.32/N99a).  The
score I have is 27.5-42.5.  This leaves Nimzo 99a about 80 points below Fritz
5.32 right now in my machines.  I ran the games on a PII 333 vs a K6-2-350.  I
ran all the games with Nimzo 99a on the  K6-2-350 which should give it a slight
advantage but not enough to worry about.  I also have 88 games so far against
Junior 5.0 under similar conditions and it is 88 points below Junior 5 right now
using the Fritz 5.32 elo calculation function.  Against Crafty 16.2 in 16 games
it is 22 elo points ahead right now.
