overstepping the time limit in game/60 is not only a probelm of tal.
Junior also lost some games on time in Sarah bird's vacation Tourney
and it lost 5 games on time in the nunn match against Fritz6 and helped fritz to
win the nunn match more convincingly(I am sure that the position was drawn in 4
of them).

I do not think that over stepping the time limit and playing incorrect
sacrifices is human like.

There are many humans who do not sacrifice if they cannot see a proof for their
sacrifice.

I also do not think that tal lose on time in a similiar way to humans.
Hiumans usually lose on time when the position is complicated and do not use a
lot of time when the position is simple.
tal lost in time in an unhuman way.

Thinking more than a minute in a simple position is not typical for humans.
