I think that you did not have enough time to prepare a book that is good enough
because rybka is too new.

The commercial version of rybka is clearly similiar to the version that is going
to be used.
This is not the case with fruit or shredder.

Yes
This is one of the reasons that I predicted first place for zappa.

We are going to see but it is a problem to prepare against something that is
unknown and I do not blame him if he does not predict fruit's weaknesses in
order to choose opening that fruit is relatively weaker than shredder in it.

I think that sandro did good preperation in the past and shredder could win
world championships inspite of not being the strongest program based on the ssdf
list.
