When I started testing the Shredder Classic and Shredder C.B.  I had no idea
about who wrote what book and which is stronger.  My opinion is now based on my
results at G/5, G/30, G/60 & G/120 games.  I believe your book is better than
the CB book simply because of the results.  If the engines are really identical
then that is the only logical reason for Shredder 6 Classic to be doing better
in my test.  In fact at the moment (subject to change) Shredder 6 Classic is 4
Elo points higher than Fritz 7 in my Standard database after only 133 games.  I
still think Fritz 7 will end up on top but Shredder 6 Classic has been a very
nice surprise.
