 I never felt interested in nimzo. But if it is indeed strongest in 30 minute
and longer games, then I should have been made aware of it but wasn't.
 What can be more significant than what a program plays after a couple of
minutes to compute? That's the only thing that should count. The idea of chess
is not blitz. And anyway, nimzo is surely strong enough at blitz against humans.
Comp.vs.comp. blitz is realy not important.
