I wanted to play it against Shredder too. Both did not cooperate. You are right that after Virtual (and Eugen) I didn't want to see the Sicilian again as black. In the blitz, I let the regular book play. The only game I lost in the blitz, against Nimzo, was you guessed it a Sicilian as black. I don't believe much in books, and I think their importance is limited. I know that this is a minority opinion. Amir
