The article is out of a german chess magazin from 1984. I have it also on my web site: http://www.thorstenczub.de/antichrist.html Chapter 5 chapter 6 than shows how this intelligent program won the championship (together with others). Its amazing how early Nitsche saw this concept and the needs to implement it in a commcercial machine. Its a pity that thomas was not allowed to develop the concept for H+G in the next years to come. the article shows the concept of Mephisto III with the 3 part search. One can say that here you have the nullmove idea realized in a dedicated chess computer long before this concept appeared elsewhere.
