I do not think that a blitz tournament can show the chess knowledge of the
programmers.

I believe that I am relatively better at longer time control and at blitz I am
probably 200 elo weaker(1800 at blitz and 2000 at tournament time control).

I cannot play a single game blindfold but memory and not chess knowledge is
needed to play blindfold.
