Hallo!

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?
