I'd tried a game in 3 min on one PC (KIII/450). In this game Phalanx had got an
advantage, and Tiger moved very fast (but not as fast as in Djordje's games). It
did seem to me in this game that its time management could cause problems at
very fast time controls.

You played on 2 PCs, where you have permamnent brain enabled. This means that
tiger is using its oppopnent's time too. So, this effect is far less drastic.

But it was only one game, which I'd played and Djordje's games seem to be
irrelevant for some strange reason ?

Perhaps, we should just forget about these peculiarities.
