I haven´t discussed this question with Enrique, but my impression was exactly the same, the style reminds mostly of Genius, very quiet and secure in it´s style including the openings (stylewise) favouring closed sicilian and the exchange-variation in french. Haven´t played much blitz and speed with Tiger but my feeling is like Genius in the old days that this could be it´s best discipline. Time tells! Have you played against the top-programs in blitz and what´s your results/opinion? Bertil SSDF
