As I have Tal myself (I really like this program) I find this very interesting. By the way, a while ago I had a young Swedish IM visiting my house. Been somewhat involved in his training. His rating is now ELO 2440, give or take a few points. Anyway, he tried out 5 blitzgames vs Tal (5' for the whole game), playing white in every game - all were Sicilians. Just playing in his ordinary tactic and aggressive style. In this opening, Tal has a lot of knowledge. Result was 5-0 in favour of the silicon Mihail. Okey, Tal can blossom when given tournament conditions, but the playing strength in shorter timelimits is definitely enough for most of us... Thanks.
