This doesn't exactly prove that Fritz would have beaten van Wely with a shorter timespan. van Wely might have chosen another plan, or maybe he knows that Fritz have problems with piece coordination in a certain type of position. Loosing tempos wouldn't be less frequent if the timecontrol is shorter IMO. I don't know how often a GM discards an intuitional move after calculation, which is a problem when there's less time.
