I disagree.
It is interesting that computers becomes every year faster but I always hear the
claim that blitz is only tactics.

Here is another claim that it is possible to say.
Note that I diagree with it but after reading that blitz is only tactics I must
say it:

long time control is only opening preperation.
If book got you into a lost position you are going to lose and the engine is not
going to help.

Why do you care about long time control game?
only blitz tells you about the strength of the engines.
