I only argued about the numbers. I agree that shredder has only small chances to win a tournament without book. I do not agree that the chances today are 0.000000001%(note that 1% is also a small chance). I also claimed that if the engine is strong enough relative to the opponents then it has good chances to win a tournament even without book(it does not say that book is not important for it to win tournament because increasing chances from 50% to 95% is important for winning tournaments).
