Shredder is just so tough in the endgame. Over ICS many times using Shredder 4,
I thought the game was lost, yet somehow, I Shredder managed to draw. Sometimes
I have to shake my head mondering how it gets to the positions, when the game
seems hopeless.

Nimzo on the other hand, has always had a great book, and has been the topic of
discussion many times here. The tournament book it uses is well known to be one
of the best, so it is not surprising that it does very well in the opening.
