It does not prove preperation of the hydra team and I think that hydra was out of book earlier than shredder but maybe they saw at home that their small book was enough against shredder so maybe they prepared lines that they can win against opening that shredder played(at least if they play against the commercial shredder). Not that hydra has an advantage of not being commercial and not playing in WCCC so it is harder for shredder to prepare against it. As a general rule smaller book is better than bigger book for slow time control. The reason is that the engine can find better moves by itself at long time control when at blitz saving time on the clock is more important. Uri
