it only led to a draw because shredders opponents played VERY weak moves in the
late stage.

let play shredder against himself and you will see no rescue.

it can´t be a good choice to reach a lost position, hoping your opponent will
blunder. that´s not a good book.

yes, you are right! craftys book was so worse that one have no words for that.

i understand. yes, junior has shown a nice attacking-style. no doubt.
