Hello to all!
IMHO statistics are not relevant , as the effect can work in opposite
directions , following that one considers a tame line or a wild one:
in a tame line each engine finds at once a +- good move , so it's as good
in blitz as in tournament
in a wild one it take more or less time to find a good move and some engines
never succeed
let me give an example:
it is known since 400 years (Polerio) that after:
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 d5 5 exd5
5...Nxd5 is bad and should lose
engines find right moves ( Na5 , Nd4 ,or b5)only after some time , and many
never
likewise, the best answers ( Nxf7 or better d4 ) need some time, and very
few find them , only in tournament
so , in blitz all egines play wrong moves and anything can happen
in tournament TC only some succeed , and they score 1-0
so long TC increase difference in strength for critical lines
Friendly Yours
