GM Dzindzichashvili is almost 60 years old. ;) We are talking about blitz, remember? No long periods of intense concentration here, just "intuition" with a little calculation here and there. Ask some of the "younger GM players" on ICC how he plays at blitz. He's been sitting on streetcorners and hustling people at blitz for 40 years. He's quite good at it. :)
