There have been many advances in opening theory since 1924, so it's book would ensure that Shredder had the advantage coming out of every opening. In contrast, none of its opponents would know the modern lines. And probably some of the lines in use back then have been absolutely busted. So those would be easy victories. A few players would probably manage some draws, but that's about it. Roger
