Sorry Vincent, that is not true. Nimzo does for example extremly well (> 50%) against crafty at 30 1 (just do a search to find out). > >Just the difference between these books already makes this huge difference >between winning an event or losing an event for nimzo. > I do not agree! At SSDF Nimzo 7.32 playes with his standard book and got reasonable results. I do not know what book they used at Thueringen tournament, but no matter what book they used, it would not make much difference on Nimzo's overall performance. >Idem for some other programs.
