Paulo,

I do not know anything about Nimzo 2000.  I do own Rebel 10 (among others) and I
find that Rebel 10 is my preferred playing partner AND analysis partner.  I like
Rebel's style of play better than others (Fritz comes to mind).  Rebel plays
games that seem more like they were played by a human player; I know this is a
VERY subjective thing.  Fritz (sorry, I do not know Nimzo) on the other hand,
plays moves that frequently make you scratch your head and wonder why ... Fritz
is extremely strong, I do not question that.  It's games seem more like computer
games to me; Rebel games do not.

Rebel's analysis features are excellent, and its evaluation of a position seems
more in keeping with what GMs say in books that I read.  Fritz's evaluation
jumps from low to high values back to low values frequently in a game, for no
apparent reason.

So, Rebel is a good choice, in my opinion.  Nimzo 2000 ... no data; cannot say.

Roy
