Hey, and I thought your message was observant and brilliant ;) ..
Najdorf is Russian Roulette IMHO - or at least it puts an incredible amount of
responsibility to the book cooks, as engines are prone to fall into all kind of
traps. It doesn't matter that Hydra found all moves by itself - why allow this
kind of gamble anyway? And there is some irony in having the Falcon-Shredder
setup repeated shortly later. While Hydra's playing strength is unknown to us
humble ordinary earthlings I can't understand why Shredder should enter this
kind of gamble anyway, that doesn't play into its own strengths at all.
