Hmm, sounds a bit too selfconfident, isn't it?

When I look at all the WMCCC games I can see that:

1. Shredder was dead lost against REBEL right after the opening.
2. Shredder was even more lost against NIMZO right after the opening.
3. Shredder had nothing to speak of against FRITZ and JUNIOR, bot as WHITE.
4. Your anti Caro Kann wasn't much liked by Shredder, since it had a negative
evaluation against ZCHESS....

So I will even count 5 unlucky openings out of 9, not a very good score...
The reason because of which Shredder won the WMCCC was its fighting spirit, its
excellent program and fighting skills. Based on the bad opening lines it had in
this championship it is amazing that Shredder won!
