Not if his name is Jonathan Speelman... ;)

No, seriously: there are bullet specialists playing *extremely* well at these
time controls. I.e. there is a guy also playing in the 2nd German Bundesliga who
might be stronger in bullet than most of the super GMs (I think 'Hawkeye' is his
nick, or something). Of course I don't know if Jonathan is one of those experts
(it's not 'my' area anyway).
