	Dear Nimzo_3d users, I have discovered a minor bug in the Nimzo_3d Chess GUI version 4.0 If you are in the 2d screen and are adding annotations to a game in the move list box and press the < u > key, the character is not displayed. This does not happen with the < Shift > key down, not with any other characters and not in the 3d screen. It also did not happen in previous versions of the program. I have not been able to discover the underlying cause of this problem, so I have coded a work-around solution. I have created a new version of the program 4.02 and all previous links point to this version for a full installation. However, the only file which is changed is the Nimzo_3d.exe file, so I have created an update package to install only a new version of this file. The package contains updates for all versions, English language only and multi-lingual, 32-bit and 64-bit. It is is 32 Megabytes in size. The download link is contained in the file Nimzo_3d_update.txt In this update there are also small improvements to the Berlin, Leipzig and Merida 2d piece sets, which now are more sharply defined around their edges. In addition, the < Window stays on top > option is now saved and restored. Yours sincerely, Roy Sawyer

	Dear Nimzo_3d users, I have now rebuilt all of the Nimzo_3d installers without the Wasp engines. All of the previous download links for the program point to the newly rebuilt version. Roy Sawyer

	Dear Nimzo_3d users, It has been brought to my attention in a post on the Chessable forum by Ladyhawke79 and by Ponti and Jonathan003 on the Talk Chess forum that the Wasp 550 engine in the rated engines that was contained in the Nimzo_3d installation package may have a virus. When checked on Virus Total it gets a count of 36/68 so that makes it very suspicious. The other Wasp engines contained in the package get the following counts - Wasp360-x32 1/66 Wasp360-x64 0/71 Wasp450-x32 0/69 Wasp450-x64 1/68 Wasp700-avx 0/71 If only 1 virus checker flags a virus, I think that can be discounted as a false positive. I downloaded and checked some other versions of the Wasp 550 and Wasp550-ancient gets a count of 24/72 but curiously Wasp550-avx comes up totally clean with 0/70 Anyway, I would recommend deleting the Wasp 550 engine from the directory :- C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Nimzo_3d\rated_engines\Wasp Users who are ultra-cautious may want to delete the entire Wasp engine directory. I would add that when I made the installation packages I did check all of the files with Avast free anti-virus and all of the files came up clean, as did the installer when I checked that on Virus Total. However, when I tried to load the Wasp 550 engine into Nimzo_3d Avast free anti-virus flags it as having a possible virus. If I remember correctly, I only loaded the first engine in each of the engine directories to see if it worked ok and then assumed that the rest would as well. Clearly, this was a mistake and I have now checked them all. My apologies for any inconvenience caused. Roy Sawyer

	Previously, I have posted links for the Nimzo_3d Chess GUI program which is an enhanced version of the Tarrasch chess GUI with additional features. I have added the following features to the latest release of the Nimzo_3d Chess GUI (version 4.0) Media player for playing and making chess videos with one demonstration video Evaluation profile window Automatic creation of Polyglot .bin opening books Opening book training feature Comprehensive compiled help file, Nimzo_3d.chm Five additional 2d piece sets and eleven additional 3d piece sets Score counter for chess quiz games in PDF files Coloured square highlights and arrows Automatic game replay function General search function for Tarrasch databases Fast search function for PGN databases Rated game feature for playing against weakened engines Move delay option to slow down engines that move too fast Capability to adjust and use all engine parameters The program downloads are now quite large, 550 - 570 Mb because of the < UCI_LimitStrength > engines for the < Rated game > feature and the 3d piece sets. For those users for whom English is not their first language there is now a multi-lingual version with support for 40 languages. The program is now 64-bit, but 32-bit versions are still available for download from the Nimzo_3d websites. There is also a large database Caissabase2025 in Tarrasch/Nimzo_3d format with 5.3 million games available for download (370 Mb) For any brave soul that wants to try to add more features to the program there is a download with Visual Studio project files, source code and instructions on how to build the wxWidgets libraries used in the program. It is set up with the same directory structure that I use when writing the program. All of the links for the various downloads are contained within the accompanying file Nimzo_3d_v4_links.txt Roy Sawyer
