Shredder got a bad position out of book against nimzo.
I think that it is not a result of better preperation.

shredder4 is tested by the ssdf and it is number 4 in the ssdf list.

The ssdf refuse to publish it's rating but it is clear that it is number 4 after
Fritz,Junior and tiger(If you download the list in Dos format you can see that
number 4 is missing.

Fritz did a very good result.
I do not think to be number 2 is a disappointment.

I guess that the programmer of Fritz does not think that number 2 in WMCCC is a
bad result for him.
