Hi. According to Eric Hallsworth's list the Nigel Short, a software upgrade to
the Milano, is about 30 Elo better.

In some ways I saw the Milano as a back-step as it was sometimes even more
susceptible to mating threats than the Academy. I seem to remember reading that
the ability to select 1 to 8 to change the way it searched was removed when the
Milano hit the stores.

Across the board regards.

Ray.
