Subject: Nimzo 7.32 inept in some basic endgames?

Author: eric guttenberg

I just got nimzo 7.32 and was somewhat surprised to find it absolutely
clueless trying to mate with K, B and N v. lone K...but I was shocked
that it was equally inept with K and 2 bishops v. lone King. When I
reached a position with my lone white King at d2 and N7.32's bishops
at d4 and e4 and its king at e5(black to move), Nimzo turned into the
village idiot and moved its king around d6 and c7 and b8 and a8 until
it was a draw, making not the slightest attempt to push me into a corner.
I'm afraid to try K and R vs. K...

Do I have a defective disc or is Nimzo 7.32 a defective program in this
area? Or have I missed something?
