I think that shredder's move Qxb2 against nimzo was a mistake and Rxe1+ was better(I believe it was out of book when it played Qxb2) Shredder did very well but my impression based on watching the games was that it was inspite of bad opening book in some games. I mean to the games against Nimzo,Rebel and Junior when in the last game it got a position that it does not understand and this is the reason for the almost +1 evaluation. I do not say that the book did not help shredder in other games but saying that it had the best opening book is not convincing. Uri
