The same is true for Jeroen's and my book!
So I don't get it why your book should be best. You have no evident facts to
proove this point. I have been to London and had a close look at all of the
participant's opening preparation. I liked Jeroen's preperation a lot, but i was
not impressed by Shredder's preperation. Against his contenders for the title he
chose to play harmless lines with white (e.g. against Fritz and Junior) and only
against non contenders for the title he tried to play for the advantage in the
opening.
It was quite amusing to see Stefan and Ossi watching the game Nimzo - Shredder
as Shredder was falling into the opening i prepared for him. We even joked about
Shredder's bad opening preparation for the WMCCC ;-)
They did not dare to reveal that you had prepared the book.

Right!
It is not enough to repeat opening lines as they are being played in human
tournaments but you must also incorporate all the analysis (i.e. moves that have
never been played) to stabalize the lines you are playing.
In the game Nimzo vs. Shredder this was not the case for the Shredder book.
