I think that in the last game it was a good opening prepration of nimzo.
I guess that alexander kure who is reponsible for nimzo's opening book knew that
nimzo is not strong enough to win without better book because shredder is a
better program so he tried to win the game by opening preperation.

Unfortunately the preperation was not good enough and Nimzo was out of book
after 24...Bc4(shredder was good enough to avoid the typical Qxb4 mistake).

Nimzo had also a won position after 24...Bc4 but the position was not good
enough for nimzo to win.

It is not the first time that nimzo find itself in a good position out of book.
In the game against Sos the first evaluation of nimzo when it left book was mate
in 11.
