Description

Description given in 1999:

Nimzo is one of the leading professional chess programms. It combines sound positional play with extremly strong tactics. Nimzo-Paderborn is a considerable improved version of the currently commercially available programms Nimzo98, Nimzo99 and Nimzo2000.

Nimzo-Paderborn learns automatically from human grandmaster games. It is also equipped with an own Chess-Advice-Language (Che++) which allows strong human players to formulate chess-knowledge. The programm can also access in its search endgame databases. It therefore searches regularly from the middlegame into won endgames.
