A consensus developed that DB should move quickly, since more thinking time would give it relatively little move improvement, but the speed would lower GKs ELO because he would not have time to think on the opponent's time. In the event, this is what happened. DB made most of its moves in under 1 minute. The longest think it had was seven minutes. The strategy worked - GK had time difficulties in some of the games, and consequently made weaker moves than usual. Source: Daniel King's book about the match. -g
