I think that shredder did not get a bad position out of book against Junior(I
remember that I saw that shredder evaluated the position as almost a pawn
advantage for shredder when I watched the game at club kasparov) but it managed
to get a lost position later so it is possible to expect more from a chess
engine.

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.
