While it is true that the original Winboard Engine that was shipped with the Nimzo 2000 stand alone version is not as good as the stand alone one, I do not agree with your "of course...". The WB Version is stronger than all of the progs you were listing above. I do not want to prove this statement with statistical material but invite you prove the opposite. There have been 2 upgrades of the WB engine meanwhile, which unfortunately were not made available for the public until now. I heard that with the new Shredder 4.0 a new WB version of Nimzo will be accompanied. There is a Winboard version of Nimzo 7.32 playing on the ICC (handle 'Varguz') which is is among the best computer progs there. This version is an experimental version for our members of the Nimzo-Werkststatt an is not available for public. I do not know of any Winboard engine that is nearly as strong in playing strength (Crafty with his superior quad Xeon is an exception) as this version. OF COURSE you are invited to play Varguz on the ICC with any Winboard version you like to prove me wrong. Greetings Alex
