Hi Wayne,

I *am* in fact member of the Nimzo team and responsible for Nimzo's opening book
and his overall chess playing 'abilities'. My point is, that Nimzo's 7.32
opening book is *very* good. For tournaments, i.e. world championships, we do no
use the standard book for obvious reasons but take my special book. I think most
other commercials and non commercials handle it this way. So unfortunately you
cannot purchase it. By the way no one could afford the price of this special
book, as i put many many hours of work into it and would not give it away for
some peanuts.

Greetings
Alex
